OATS SPAGHETTI WITH LOTS OF VEGGIES

Hello everyone

We all start drooling over mere mention of Chinese cuisine specially if it's noodle/ spaghetti.Now a days kids to elders, everyone is fan of Chinese food. You can find stalls of Chinese noodles from roadside to five star hotels and from marriage party to buissness meet ups . From this it's  crystal clear that how deeply this cuisine entered in our hearts. So today I am also going to share one of the popular delicious noodle recipe but a healthy one, which you will definitely love. This is so easy to prepare yet super delicious , healthy and filling too as this time I used oats noodles. You can prepare it from breakfast to dinner, anytime. Recipe is given below, do try and let me know how it turned out for you.

OATS SPAGHETTI WITH LOTS OF VEGGIES

Serves: 3-4

Time : 30 mins

Ingredients 

300- 350 gms noodles ( spaghetti), I used Quaker Oats spaghetti 

 2 cup length wise cut carrots and long cut beans

2 cups mixed veg ( shredded cabbage, sliced colored capsicum, long cuts spring onions)

2 onions, round sliced

2 green chilies, slit

2 tsp soy sauce ( or as per taste)

2-3 tsp garlic chilli or simple chilli sauce ( or as per taste)

1/2+ tsp black pepper powder

1 tsp garlic powder ( optional)

Salt to taste

Oil

Method:

First of all boil enough water in a big vessel, add 1/2 tsp salt and 1 tsp oil to it. Now add noodles in it and boil till it is cooked. Keep checking in between, as soon as it is cooked , drain it in a sieve and wash under running tap water to wash all starch to get non sticky noodles. Keep aside for later use. You can also rub 1 tsp of oil on noodles  after washing to ensure non sticky noodles on cooking. But I skipped as if it is washed properly then will not stick at all. But be careful to not over cook your noodles otherwise it will kill all the flavours, that you will never appreciate. All the spaghetti packets have cooking time mentioned on it, so follow it blindly to get best result as different thickness of noodles take different cooking time.

Heat oil in a wok, Add sliced onions and fry till transparent. 

Now add carrots and beans, saute for 2 mins and cover the lid and further cook for 2-3 mins. Now add mix veggies and saute for 3-4 mins.

 Add garlic powder, black pepper powder , some salt and both sauces. Mix well. 

Now add boiled noodles and salt , saute for 3-5 mins. Adjust salt and sauces according to your taste. 

Switch off the flame and serve your delicious noodles hot.

*You can use any veggies as per your choice and availability. If you want to add some tomato sauce then can, I skipped as I got sufficient sweetness from sweet soy sauce. 

I kept my veggies crunchy, but if you like nicely cooked one then can cook for little longer to get your preference. But believe me crunchiness of veggies increase its taste double fold .

You can prepare these noodles either for breakfast or for lunch or dinner, it's filling and delicious too . 

So enjoy these Chinese delicacy with your pals and please pour your valuable comments and suggestions here, they meant a lot.

Happy cooking....
