Kitchen Queen

Today was a holiday and i played Kitchen Queen.Being busy with studies,I cherish every holiday that is sent my way.it just happened that mom had a plan to visit some relatives in the morning, which meant that that the kitchen was all mine.It was one of those rare times when I was left alone to my devices in the kitchen without any interference or advice on how I being going about my way.Don't you  just like the feeling of queening over the kitchen?

I decided on making some desi style Chinese food.So i made some vegetable fried rice ,chicken soup and some pasta. Desert is a must in my household, but after all this effort, I found it tiresome to make some from scratch so  i made some instant pudding.

I am kind of bored with the typical stir fried vegetable desi Chinese style noodles/spaghetti/macaroni/pasta, therefore I made some pasta inspired by Thai food.The recipe I used is an adaption of Spicy Thai Noodles.


I would omit the green onions next time I make these,because I don't like the strong after taste of green 
onions.....

RECIPE:
Ingredients:

1 packet (400 gm) pasta *any shape*
3 tbsp oil
1 tbsp red chilli flakes
4-5 tbsp soya sauce
4-5 tbsp honey
salt, to taste
Red chilli powder,optional
3-4 dry red chillies,optional
1/4 cup green onions, sliced
1/4 cup carrot, cut into thin strips and boiled for 1 minute
3 tbsp cilantro, finely chopped 
2 tbsp sesame seeds,roasted

Method:

Boil past according to directions. Set aside.

Heat oil and red chillies flakes for couple of minute over medium heat.Don't  let the red chilli flakes burn. Strain the oil to remove red chilli flakes, and reserve the oil.Add soya sauce and honey in teh oil and mix.

Pour the sauce in a pot. ad the boiled pasta and place it on a medium flame. Add the green onions,shredded carrots, and the cilantro. Toss lightly. Add some salt and mix. Taste, if it is not hot enough you can add red chilli powder Or you can break some red chillies ans add the seeds. (I did the both :D )

Sprinkle the sesame seeds and toss the pasta around.Dish out in a platter. SERVE WARM 

Happy Cooking..!!!!!
