Prepare the vegetable mixture:
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a wok or pan over high heat.
Add the chopped garlic and sauté for a few seconds.
Add the spring onion whites, capsicum, carrots, and cabbage. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds to keep the vegetables crunchy.
Assemble the Nidos Schezwan Noodle Bhel.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Nidos Schewzan Noodle Bhel with the vegetables.
Toss gently but quickly to ensure everything is coated before the noodles get soggy.

For extra crunch, you can add some raw chopped onions, green chilies, and peanuts just before serving, similar to traditional bhel.
