RECIPE: NinjaMom's Simple Noodles (Vegan)

For my name day, I was in the middle of my vegan challenge, when I decided to host a vegan brunch.  My parents provided some food as a gift.  Included was this ridiculous amount of noodles my mom made - they were served cold, but you can eat them either cold or warm.  Also, as a Chinese person, there's not really an exactness to this recipe - so I made it myself later, having called her, and attempted to approximate these quantities for this recipe.  (The next time I make this, I will update with photos).

Ingredients:

  • 1 box spaghetti
  • 1 bunch scallions/green onion/spring onions (whatever you would like to call them), chopped
  • 1/2 to 1 head of garlic (this is based on your preferences), sliced
  • 3-5 Tbsp soy sauce
  • 3-5 Tbsp vegetable/canola oil


How To:
  1. In a pot, bring water to boil, and cook pasta according to package instructions (I'd only go al dente).
  2. Meanwhile, in a saute pan, heat the oil.  Keep heat about medium-high.  Add the scallions.
  3. Saute the scallions until they brown, stirring a lot, and taking about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Add the garlic.  Continue to stir it all together about 3 minutes to pull out all of the garlic flavor.  (Try not to burn your garlic).
  5. Add the soy sauce.  Let this cook down for another 3-5 minutes.
  6. Drain pasta, and add to large bowl.
  7. Turn off heat on the "sauce" and get it all into the bowl with the pasta.  Toss.
  8. Eat.  Be happy.
