Cook 500g of wholemeal spaghetti and put aside. Slice or chop a variety of vegetables, whatever you have at hand. For example:
- Some dark green leafy veg, such as spinach or spring greens
- Mushrooms
- Spring onions
- Capsicum
- Water chestnuts
- Broccoli
Fry one onion (sliced) and 1 head of garlic (sliced) into 2 tbsp toasted sesame oil for 2 minutes in a large pot. Then add the veggies in order of cooking time. I usally add the mushrooms and capsicum first, and leaves and broccoli after a couple of minutes.
After you added the last set of veggies, add:
- 4 tbsp soya sauce
- 1-2 tsp sechuan pepper
- 2 tsp chili flakes
Cook for about 10 minutes until the veggies are cooked. Then add 2 tbsp toasted sesame seeds. Mix in with the spaghetti and you’re done!
