This is the first from the series; Bibi's Kitchen. I've always had a penchant for cooking but I bore easily when the meals are same old same old. So i often go on about.com to check out recipes and put my own spin on them. I actually learnt how to make stir-fry from our former cook who made mostly chinese recipes. Stir fry is common among the chinese people. Almost all their meals are stir fry, I chose this recipe because its easy to make and easy to put your own spin to!
WHAT YOU'LL NEED
Spaghetti
Chicken
Shrimps
Carrots
Green pepper
Onion
Garlic (optional)
Soysauce
Vegetable/Olive oil
Maggi
STEPS
1) Since chicken takes a while to cook, we start with it. Wash it and dice it into small pieces
Then, boil it with salt, maggi, onions and garlic if you please
2) Once the chicken is cooking, we can put the spaghetti to boil also. You should not let the spaghetti cook for to long to avoid it being soggy so you can wait a few minutes before boiling it.
3) While the spaghetti and chicken are cooking, We start to chop the vegetables.
For the carrots, I prefer a rounded shape but if you don't you can go for semi circles or simply dice them into little squares
For the onions, I placed on the side and cut thin slices to give a rounded shape to but I diced the green pepper
4) Now, we have the chopped veggies, boiled spaghetti and chicken. Time to stir fry.
Get your fry pan, heat it up add a little oil (not as much for full frying but just enough to go round)
Fry the onions first then add your green pepper. Once the onions start to turn transparent, add your carrots then your shrimps and then chicken. Add this point, the mixture is starting to give off liquid but its still frying. Add all seasoning, soy sauce and more and more and more garlic like my cousin would say.
5) Once the veggies are well cooked, add the spaghetti to the mixture and stir until evenly blended. Wait for a few minuted for the spaghetti to dry and there you have it! Stir fry spaghetti!!
