Asian noodles with vegetables

Pasta/Pizza - Asian noodles with vegetables by Luana D. - Recipia

Asian noodles with vegetables are boiled al dente, then heated for another two minutes in the pan with the vegetables. The pepper, carrot, cabbage and mushrooms stay visible among the strands of noodles, while soy sauce and a little sesame oil bring a salty taste and a final aroma. I prefer wide noodles because they’re easy to toss with the vegetables. Preparation: 10 minutes. Cooking: 17 minutes. Total time: 27 minutes. Servings: 2. Approximately 330 kcal and 10 g protein per serving.

Ingredients

  • 100 g wide noodles
  • 1000 ml water
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 80 g carrot (1 medium)
  • 100 g white cabbage
  • 150 g button mushrooms (10 medium)
  • 150 g kapia pepper (1 pepper)
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 1 teaspoon ginger and spring onion paste
  • 1/2 teaspoon sambal oelek
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds

Preparation

1. Cut the carrot into sticks, the cabbage and pepper into strips, the mushrooms into slices, and finely chop the garlic. 2. Bring 1000 ml of water with 1/2 teaspoon of salt to a boil. Once boiling, add the noodles and cook for 5 minutes, until they’re still firm. Rinse them with cold water and leave to drain. 3. Heat a pan with 1 tablespoon of oil. Add the carrot, cabbage, mushrooms, pepper and garlic, then sauté for 2 minutes; the vegetables should stay slightly firm. 4. Add the ginger paste and sambal oelek and stir. Add the noodles and heat everything for 2 minutes, until hot. 5. Pour in the soy sauce and sesame oil, stir and take the pan off the heat. Sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving.

Notes

Wide noodles vary in thickness, so start checking them a minute before the time on the package, since they’ll spend more time in the pan. If the mushrooms release a lot of liquid, keep the pan on the heat until it evaporates, then continue. Serve them on their own or with thinly sliced fresh cucumbers. For a gluten-free version, use 100 g of rice noodles and replace the soy sauce with 1 teaspoon of tamari; check the product labels. Store leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge for no more than 3 days.
