What makes Manchow different
Manchow is an Indian invention, not something you’d find in China. It’s thickened, peppery and full of garlic, ginger, green chilli and soy, with finely chopped vegetables. What makes it Manchow is the crispy fried noodles on top, which you crush into the soup for crunch.
