Chinese bhel is a fast food item. It is a variant of the chop suey. It is also widely popular in Mumbai.[1][2][3]
Ingredients[]
Chinese bhel usually consists of deep fried noodles, finely chopped onions, shredded cabbage, sliced green pepper and carrots, soy, tomato and red chili sauce, salt and black pepper powder, ajinomoto and garlic paste in varying quantities. Even sometimes chopped spring onion is also added.[4]
Criticism[]
Chinese bhel stalls in Mumbai were criticized for poor hygiene and rumored to have caused hepatitis E over a two-month period in 2011.[5]
The Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai (MCGM) has issued strict orders to not let hawkers sell fried foodstuffs on pavements and Chinese food outside schools. The Congress party had recently demanded that the MCGM ban the sale of Chinese street food due to fears related to its use of monosodium glutamate.[6][dubious ]
