To prepare, bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Add the dried noodles and cook according to package directions, usually for a few minutes until they are tender but still have a slight bite. Drain the noodles thoroughly and rinse them briefly with cold water to prevent them from sticking together. You can then add them directly to your hot wok with your prepared vegetables, sauces, and any other desired ingredients for a delicious stir-fry.

Compared to spaghetti or fettuccine, hakka noodles have a firmer, chewier texture and a slightly different flavor profile. Their shape is also optimized for stir-frying, allowing them to be easily tossed with other ingredients without breaking.
