Ingredients
- 1 cup macaroni
- 1½ tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 onion (chopped)
- ⅛ cup tomato (chopped)
- ⅛ cup carrot (chopped)
- ⅛ cup capsicum (chopped)
- 1 green chili (chopped)
- 3 garlic cloves (chopped)
- ½ tablespoon soy sauce
- ⅛ tablespoon tomato sauce
- ⅓ tablespoon black pepper
- Salt to taste
- ⅓ tablespoon mixed herbs
Instructions
- Take a pot and add 3 cups of water along with the macaroni. Cook on medium heat and stir occasionally so the macaroni does not stick to the bottom. Cook until it is about 90% done.
- Once cooked, strain the water and keep the macaroni aside to cool slightly.
- Heat vegetable oil in another pan over medium heat. Add the chopped garlic and saute until lightly golden and aromatic. Add the chopped onion and cook until golden brown.
- Now add the chopped carrot, capsicum, tomato, and green chili. Cook for a few minutes until the vegetables become slightly soft but still hold some texture.
- Add the boiled macaroni to the pan. Add salt, black pepper, soy sauce, tomato sauce, and mixed herbs. Mix everything well so the macaroni is evenly coated with the seasoning.
- Cook for another 2 to 3 minutes while stirring continuously. Turn off the heat and serve hot.
Notes
- Cook the macaroni only 90 percent done. It will finish cooking in the pan and this keeps it from turning mushy.
- Always use fresh garlic for the best aroma and flavour. Garlic powder is not recommended for this recipe.
- Adjust the soy sauce and tomato sauce ratio to match your taste. More tomato sauce gives a tangy flavour, more soy sauce gives a deeper savoury taste.
- Serve hot and fresh for the best texture. Macaroni absorbs sauce as it sits, so do not wait too long before serving.
