Ingredients for 4 servings:

• 400g spaghetti
• 1 onion(s)
• 2 carrots
• 1 bunch of spring onions
• 1 Chinese cabbage
• some oil
• 200 g meat, of your choice or soy medallions
• some soy sauce
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 tbsp sambal oelek
• some curry powder
• some turmeric powder
• some salt
• fried onions

Instructions

Working time approx. 30 minutes; Rest time approx. 1 hour; Cooking/baking time approx. 5 minutes; Total time approx. 1 hour 35 minutes

If using soy medallions instead of meat, they must first be soaked in hot broth for 30 minutes and then squeezed out well. Cook the spaghetti until al dente. Drain the water and rinse the spaghetti. Remove as much of the starch as possible and drain well. In the meantime, cut the meat (e.g., chicken, beef fillet, pork fillet, or the soaked soy medallions) into thin strips. Crush the garlic cloves, mix with soy sauce and sambal oelek, and use as a marinade for the meat or soy strips. Let it sit for at least 1 hour, or overnight if possible. Wash the carrots, Chinese cabbage, and spring onions. Cut the carrots into fine sticks, the onions into thin wedges, and the Chinese cabbage and spring onions into strips. Heat a little oil in a pan or wok. Now fry the ingredients for one person at a time. First, briefly fry the meat or soy meat, add some of the noodles and fry, then add a few carrots and onions. After about 1-2 minutes, add the spring onions and Chinese cabbage. Season with salt, a little curry powder, and turmeric. Transfer to a plate and sprinkle with fried onions.
