邋遢猫的窝

It's a hot Sunday.  I did 3 rounds of laundring, then bathing, feeding & putting Damien to sleep. Going out is not an alternative.

"What for lunch?" hubby asked. "Let's see what's there left in the fridge". I don't normally do marketing, my mother-in-law does. So I got to be creative with limited ingredients.

Here's what I have "invented" - Choy Sem Aglio Olio Spaghetti.

Ingredients:

1 big red chili - sliced

4 small chili padi - chopped

Garlic - 1 whole garlic, chopped

Choy sem - washed & drained

1/2 Carrot - sliced to strips (this was the remaining from cooking Damien's porridge)

Prawns - marinated with salt

Olive oil, pepper, chicken stock granules, salt & MSG for seasoning (I know it's not healthy... but it has to be as far as taste is concerned)

Rosemary (supposed to put chopped Parsley leaves, but I don't have any, so I tried Rosemary that I used to marinated lamb shoulder yesterday. It turned out to be really aromatic!)

Spaghetti enough for 2. Hold speghetti in fist to the size of a 20 cents (that's enough for one person).

Preparation:

1. Boil spaghetti in rapidly boiling water until tender (break spaghetti to check if the centre is white in colour. Cooked spaghetti has no white centre).

2. When cooked, drained spaghetti. Toss with some olive oil to prevent it sticks together.

3. Boil water in a deep pan. Put in choy sem to boil for 3 minutes.

4. At the same time, heat wok with generous amount of olive oil over medium fire. Saute garlic & chilies together.

5. Turn fire to max, put in prawns, spaghetti & choy sem in order. Sprinkle with some Rosemary.   

6. Put seasoning to taste & fry for 2 - 3 minutes.

Voila!

A satisfying lunch must served with something premium...

The best Root Beer in the world - RM3.99 from Cold Storage (notice the clever cap)? 

Ahhhh... blurrrp... what a cooling Sunday.
