Notes
- Cooking pasta – I boil till soft but not mushy, check by tasting, should bend little. I add few drops of oil in water so pasta does not stick.
- Vegetables – I add peas and capsicum, carrot or beans works too. Cut evenly so that it cooks fast. I sometimes steam peas and add it.
- Schezwan sauce – I add little water to coat pasta, too thick sauce makes it sticky. Taste first, then adjust accordingly.
- Adjust spice – I taste after adding sauce, reduce chili if kids are eating. Sometimes I add pinch of sugar to balance tangy taste.
- Extra Add ons – You can also add corn, mushrooms, or broccoli. I sometimes add grated cheese, makes creamy and kids love it.
