tips: Make sure put the egg noodles in the bowl then only pour the gravy on it.Try not to add the noodles into the pan together with the gravy because it may become too soggy. It tastes better if you put the noodles on the bowl then pour the gravy over them .
You can use substitute all kinds of vegetables, sometimes if there is no kailan, I would use other green vegetables such as 'sawi'or lettuce.You can also add broccoli , carrots, capsicum and mushrooms if you want your kids to have more vegetables in their meals.
