Chinese Vegetable Noodles

If there is one International cuisine that’s the most popular, it has to be the Chinese food. Especially, the Indo-chinese dhabas and restaurants that are omnipresent. popular in India. And my favorite in an Indo-Chinese place is always the Chinese Vegetable Noodles (love the chicken noodles too).
This is a recipe I have learnt over time and I made this for some of our friends and they loved it. I made this noodles for first time and it came out very good. The oyster sauce and the basil leaves gives such a rich flavor to this noodles.
