Angel Hair Pasta (Stir-fry)

Angel hair pasta is a very light pasta, it goes well in soup, my version of angel hair pasta recipe is simple stir fry using some sauces, but very quick to prepare and we had with cucumber salad. This recipe is very spicy one, if you do not wish to have that much spicy, you can reduce the quantity of it.



Ingredients
200g  Angel hair pasta
2 onions
5 cloves garlic
1/2 cup mixed vegetables(beans, carrot, capsicum)
150g Boneless chicken(optional)
3 eggs slightly beaten
2 tablespoon chili sauce
1 tablespoon light soy sauce
1 teaspoon brown sugar or honey
4 tablespoon  red chili flakes
1 teaspoon butter
Spring onions, for garnishing
Olive oil and salt

Method

  • Cook pasta in salted boiling water according to the direction on package, drain and set aside, for me it took 5 mins.
  • Heat oil in a pan, once hot add the chopped onions and saute till it turns transparent.
  • Add garlic and cook for a min, then add the chopped mixed vegetables and cook for a min.
  • Add chicken pieces and stir continuously until it is well cooked.
  • In a seperate pan, scramble the egg and combine with veg mixture.
  • Add the cooked pasta, mix well and add salt, soy, chili sauce and brown sugar.
  • Cook for another 3 mins and add 4-5 tablespoon of red chili flakes and 1 teaspoon of butter and cook for another min.
  • Garnish with spring onions (optional).


Note

  • Instead of chicken, you can add shrimps, which gives you excellent taste.
  • Red chili flakes is nothing but, just grind the dry chili  coarsely, and also adjust the quantity according to your spice level.( my version is extra spicy one).
