ROTI NOODLES

We all want to eat healthy and be healthy but the truth is everything that's yummy isn't always the healthiest like cheesecake? (so yumm!) Anyways so my fight to find food that's healthy as well as yummy continues. I found this recipe from a blog that I follow - http://www.rakskitchen.net/. I modified it just a little and reduced the number of ingredients and it still turned out really delicious. 


I love noodles and pasta in all forms, shapes and sizes. I also love rotis (flat bread, made from stoneground wholemeal flour, traditionally known as atta flour). This dish combines the best of both worlds. So here goes...




PREP TIMECOOKING TIMESERVES
10 minutes10 minutes 2 

INGREDIENTS

Ingredients  Quantity
Cooked Rotis2 - 3
Mixed Vegetables
(I used onions, cabbage, broccoli and carrots)
1 cup
Onions1 teaspoon
Green Chillies1 - 2
Soy Sauce (I used this one) 2 teaspoon
Tomato Sauce1 blob or to taste
Chilly Sauce (I used this one )1 blob or to taste 
Spring Onions (optional)1 sprig
Water1:2 ratio for Rice : Water
Oil/Butter2 Tablespoons (I've used vegetable oil but you can use olive oil or butter)
SaltTo taste 

PREP
  • This dish works really well with left over rotis, but you can make fresh rotis too. 
  • Dice the onions and cut green chillies into small pieces or slit them in the middle to make two long halves of each chilly
  • Cut your vegetables the way you like it with your noodles. 
  • Cut your rotis lenghthwise to make long noodle like strands. If you don't have rotis, try using tortillas.

PROCEDURE
  • In a wok add oil, when the oil heats up add green chillies and onions. I have not used ginger or garlic for this dish but feel free to use them
  • When the onions become a little brown, add your vegetables

  • Fry them until they're almost done and then add the roti strands

  • Add soy sauce, tomato ketchup and chilly sauce , mix it all up and fry for 4 - 5 minutes. The sauces are up to you, anything you like, splash them on. You can also not use any sauce and just add a dash of salt and pepper, making it super healthy and a low sodium treat.

  • Sprinkle some spring onions and your roti noodles are now ready to be devoured. ;)


SERVING SUGGESTIONS
Serve hot and enjoy :) If you like it even more spicy, Sriracha sauce is your pal.
