Quick and easy vegetables stir-fry with pasta, a very light and tasty stir-fry.
Welcome.
Meet what my mother calls food for the lazy hands AKA pasta/ noodles or the most popular one now INDOMIE. (It’s a cultural thing)
I like to reason with her.
You know there’s cutting of the vegetables. Argh…. there is the washing of dishes afterwards. And then the nightmare of over-cooking pasta and getting it all stacked together.
Now to this vegetable stir-fry with pasta. It is quite straightforward. Feel free foraging through the fridge for any “not-so-forgotten” or “ignored” vegetables, or better still your favourite vegetables. Just cook your pasta or noodles, throw everything together and yes the sauce. A simple combination of soy-sauce and honey.
- 150g pasta
- salt as required
- 2-3 carrots
- 1 small cauliflower
- 2 bell pepper
- 1 red onion
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1/2 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1- 2 cloves garlic finely minced
- 1- 1.5 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1/2- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1/8 teaspoon white pepper optional

Bring water to a boil, add a generous amount of salt and add pasta. Cool till al-dente. Strain with a colander and set aside. Meanwhile cut your vegetables into desired sizes. Mix the soy sauce and honey together, set aside.
