I was in lecture one day and my stomach growled. I was really hungry and craved for hawker center kind of noodles. However, I do not want to take in processed flour (which is present in Asian kind of noodles) too much. And so, while in lecture with my mind drifting off to what I should cook, an idea came up. I could use whole wheat spaghetti as the preferred noodle and cook it up my own way. Hey presto! I created my own satisfying recipe which I find really yummy......
RECIPE: Serves 1
- 1/4 tsp garlic, finely chopped
- 1/2 tsp fresh thyme
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2-3 slices ginger
- 1-2 tbsp of chili flakes
- 1/4 cup rinsed black beans(canned)
- 50g-85g whole wheat spaghetti
- 2-3 tbsp of chicken/vegetable broth
- 1 tomato
- 1 small bunch butterhead lettuce (about the size of your fist will do)
- few pieces of turkey slices/meat
- 1/4 tsp dark soya sauce
- Boil the whole wheat spaghetti according to stated timing in the package.
- Meanwhile, cut tomatoes into 8 wedges and cut the ginger into strips.
- Healthy Sauté: In a medium-sized skillet, add broth and using medium heat, heat till bubbles appear. Add in garlic, ginger, onion and thyme for and stir about 5 minutes.
- Add cooked spaghetti, black beans, turkey slices, dark soya sauce and chili flakes in and continue stirring for another 2 minutes or so.
