Simple Veggie Noodles

Very quick to whip up... all you need is some colourful veggies and noodles! You can do this with or without maggi noodles.



Preparation time: 10 - 15 mins
Cooking time: 10 mins
Serves - 2

INGREDIENTS

  • Noodles (fresh/ long life/ Maggi) - 1 small pack
  • Onion - 1 small (cut length wise)
  • Garlic - 2 cloves (crushed)
  • Ginger - 1" piece (roughly chopped)
  • Green chilly (roughly chopped) - 1 or more depending on your taste
  • Mixed veggies (semi cooked)- 1 cup (capsicum, carrot, peas, cauliflower, broccoli, beans, etc etc)
  • Soy sauce - 2 tbsp
  • Sweet Chilly sauce - 2 tbsp
  • Oil - 2 tbsp
  • Ground Pepper - half tsp (can increase quantity if you want)
  • 5 spice powder 1 pinch (optional)
  • Salt to taste
  • Coriander to garnish
METHOD
  • Get the noodles ready as per the instructions on the pack. Drain & keep ready
  • Heat up the oil then add garlic, ginger and green chilly and saute for a min
  • To this add onions and saute for another 2 mins
  • Add the semi cooked veggies, sauces, spices to this and saute till all the veggies get a coat of the sauce. Do not add the salt in as yet... the Soy sauce gives a salty taste so you might land up with very salty noodles.
  • DO NOT add water... else it will get very soggy.
  • Add the noodles and combine it well with the veggie mix
  • Check for salt and other spices... add more salt or chilly as per taste.
  • Garnish with coriander and serve hot!
VARIATIONS
  • The sweet chilly sauce actually gives a sticky effect to the noodles so you don't have to use this one... you could use even ketchup to get that effect.
  • For garnish you could also use fried onion or fried tofu.
  • If you have left over noodles you could convert it into spring roll... Just Roll it up in a rice paper and fry it!
