Chintalian Noodles(Chinese Noodles with Pasta)

My husband loves chinese and i have always failed to master cooking chinese dishes with those egg noodles.
Egg noodles are not only complex to handle but also have lots of calories and fat. They tend to get sticky and mushy if they are not prepared properly.
Hence i have discovered an alternative to solve this problem.I have replaced the egg noodles with spaghetti(italian pasta).I normally use high fiber whole grain pasta which makes it a healthier recipe.

Ingredients
- Spaghetti - as required
- mixed vegetables (beans,cabbage,carrot,capsicum)
- spring onions(green onions)
- lemon juice - 1 TSP
- tomato ketchup - 1TSP
- Chings schezwan sauce -1 TSP
- salt to taste
- Oil - 1 TSP
- soya sauce - 1/4 TSP

Chinese Sauce :
- Mix tomato ketchup,schezwan sauce,half lemon juice in a bowl.

Recipe

Boil lots of water in a big pan.Drop the spaghetti noodles and some salt as required.Let the spaghetti cook until al dente .

Chop all mixed vegetables into thin long slices .Add the oil into a pan and Saute the finely chopped mixed vegetables covered for 5 mins.
Now remove the lid and add some soya sauce and salt to the vegetables.Add the chinese sauce prepared earlier and mix all ingredients well.

Drain the cooked pasta properly and mix it with the prepared chinese veggies .Cover the pan with a lid and heat it for 5 minutes.Turn off the heat ,garnish it with finely chopped spring/green onions

A healthy and tasty Chinese noodles with italian pasta is ready for you

Tring Tring
Tina:: Whats up?
aisha :: Planning to make semiya today.
Tine:: awesome..Can you teach me as well.
aisha :: Whatttttttttttt!!!Dont you know how to prepare semiya ???huh

Were you in this situation before?I was very well in this situation.The only time i entered kitchen was to eat food all those 17 years i was at home.Girls should not be pampered so much was what my granny used to spill the beans on my mom :)

Hmm but i always argued with granny that its no big task.i shall learn when needed.Yes folks for all those who are new to cooking...It is very easy to cook anything in the Internet world.

*****Semiya***

I never thought i would post a recipe for semiya.But i am dedicating this to all those amateur cooks who are completely new to cooking :)..
Also i try to cut down the calories in it a lot by?....wait and watch how?

Ingredients

1/2 cup Vermicelli (thin long vermicelli would be best)

sugar to taste

2 cups milk( use 2% fat milk to reduce calories)

nuts(cashew,almonds,raisins)

1.5 tsp ghee

Usually people tend to use lots of ghee to fry the dry fruits(nuts) .But that is not really required.Talk a little ghee and heat it in a pan.add the raisins to the ghee and keep the flame on low.wait until the raisins are puffed .Now add the remaining dry fruits and roast them an low flame.Once they turn brown all the vermicelli(we also get roasted vermicelli these days.I personally find the thin long vermicelli more tastier than the mtr vermicelli).once the vermicelli appears to turn brown in color add the milk immediately and increase the flame to medium.Add sugar as per your taste.

Cook the vermicelli until done.It should not be too liquid with milk nor too thick.Maintain a semi solid consistency as it would get think and hard upon cooling.
