Garlic Spinach Stir-fry Noodles

spinach stir1
From the stove to your plate in 5 minutes FLAT! No kidding
This is the easiest meal you can ever prepare, and probably the tastiest, seriously – how many of you like Indian- Chinese food? You can see my hands way up there J This recipe came about after a pasta meal I’d made the previous day and had some angel hair remaining.
I also had some fresh leaf salad spinach – the big boxes you get at Sam’s! Two hungry kids and one quick thinking mom namely moi (:  and all happy! A whole lot healthier than Maggi and a whole lot yummier too!
Start to finish 5 minutes not taking into account the time to cook the noodles. You can make this individually so it can be served hot (like dosas(:

INGREDIENTS
Angel hair or thin vermicelli (even if you have no leftovers, this takes 5-10 minutes to cook at the most)
Fresh Spinach leaves
Garlic 1-2 cloves depending on how much you love it
1 Red chili crumbled
1 tbsp sesame oil
1-2 tbsp Schezwan stir-fry sauce (this is vital folks)
Spinach stir5
Add caption
PREPARATION
In a shallow wok/pan heat the sesame oil
Crumble the chili in it
Next, crush the garlic or add crushed garlic
Now throw in the spinach and spin a couple of times. The spinach will almost immediately get soggy
Add the noodles and the sauce over it
Toss a few times until all the noodles are drenched in the sauce
Spinach Stir8
Feel Free to garnish with peanuts!
Put on your plate and dig in hot (:
Optional: you can also crumble some spicy peanut balls on it or add some roasted cashews (it is delicious as is though)
Cheers until the next recipe!

    Lovely and quick dish. I love the fact that you used angel hair pasta rather than noodles. I like angel hair pasta!

    This is a great dish, perfect quick meal! My daughter loves stir fired noodles, and I like to add spinach or whatever greens I have on hand. I have added tahini if I don't have any nuts. I must try the stir fry sauce!
