Ingredients like ginger, garlic, soya sauce, vinegar, red chilli paste & sichuan pepper corn are used to make the spicy sauce. The store bought sauce usually has loads of other additives, artificial taste enhancers and preservatives. Many restaurants usually make these without much veggies. Some onions and bell peppers is all that is used. So you can skip veggies like carrots. To make schezwan noodles, you can use any kind of noodles you prefer. Usually, the regular round noodles are used. But I have used the flat ones since this is what I had. You can also use soba, udon or rice noodles here. Just ensure you follow the instructions on the pack for cooking time. You can also make the sauce in advance from this Schezwan sauce post. If you have it handy, just stir it with some boiled noodles on a high flame.
