Chinese Elbows

Chinese Elbows - Macaroni in Chinese Style

Unexpected holiday.. make it special !!

Today, is a study holiday for my daughter. so, its just myself and my daughter in our house for lunch. i decided to cook my daughter's favourite - pasta or noodles. i wanted to make something easy to cook but good to eat. my daughter asked for Chinese noodles. but i had only elbow macaroni in home. that's how we ended up having Chinese Elbow for lunch. 

All veggies and Chinese flavouring sauces - that's all needed.

I chop the vegetables finely for this pasta unlike for noodles. saute all, mix it with cooked pasta.

here is the recipe in detail.

Ingredients:

• elbow pasta - boiled
• vegetables - green beans, carrot, cabbage, capsicum, broccoli (can add spring onions also).
• garlic - 3 cloves finely chopped
• soy sauce
• chilli sauce
• schezwan sauce
• tomato ketchup
• salt
• pepper powder
• brown sugar
• oil

Procedure:

• boil the pasta as per the packet instructions.
• cut the vegetables fine and keep ready.
• heat enough oil in a wide pan.
• add the chopped garlic.
• followed by chopped vegetables.
• saute for 5 mins in high heat.
• add the salt and sauces. continue sauteing for another 10 minutes. let the vegetables be still crunchy.
• add the cooked pasta and give a good stir.
• check for salt and spice. add the brown sugar and stir well.
• once everything is well mixed. remove from heat and serve hot.

Happy cooking !!
