Beef Stir-fried Spaghetti - Western style food, when you don’t want to eat, eat noodles

Overview

The electricity in Africa is very unstable. For example, this morning, the power went out and came in and out several times. I thought that if I plugged in the rice cooker and the rice was not cooked and the power went out, it would be over, so I decisively gave up cooking. Suddenly I saw half a pack of leftover spaghetti in the cabinet, and I had a flash of inspiration. Let’s have fried noodles. Lunch must not only be full but also nutritious, so it is paired with beef and cabbage. Haha, both meat and vegetables are available. The staple food is cooked in one pot, and it is also very innovative, blah blah blah, ~~~

Ingredients

Steps

  1. Pictures of main ingredients. Cut the beef into thin slices or long strips, marinate with light soy sauce, oil, shredded ginger and freshly ground black pepper for at least 10 minutes. In fact, the longer the beef becomes, the more tender it will be. If you don’t have freshly ground black pepper, you can use pepper instead, but beef and freshly ground black pepper are recognized as the best partners.

  2. There are no special requirements for choosing pasta. You can buy whatever you like in the supermarket. Long, short, curly, shell-shaped, or bow-shaped. Children should like it very much. The colorful ones I chose look quite appetizing, haha.

  3. Boil half a pot of water. After the water boils, add the pasta and cook for 7 minutes. Generally, the pasta packaging bag will indicate how long it needs to be cooked. In my case, it was 7 minutes.

  4. The cooked pasta needs to be cooled immediately in cold water. The purpose of this is to make the pasta more elastic and prevent it from sticking to each other. Of course, if you have olive oil, you can also mix it directly with olive oil to achieve the same effect.
