Main Ingredients
- 200g noodles
- 2 large potatoes, diced
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon red chili powder
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 green onions, chopped
Instructions
- Cook the noodles: Boil the noodles according to the package instructions until al dente, then drain and set them aside to prevent overcooking.
- Heat oil and toast cumin seeds: Warm the vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat and add cumin seeds. Let them sizzle and release their aroma to infuse the oil.
- Cook diced potatoes: Add the diced potatoes to the pan and sauté until they become soft and tender, ensuring they are cooked through.
- Add seasonings: Stir in the minced garlic, red chili powder, soy sauce, salt, and black pepper to the potatoes, coating them evenly with the spices.
- Combine noodles with potatoes: Add the pre-cooked noodles to the pan and mix thoroughly with the spiced potatoes, ensuring all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Garnish and serve: Remove from heat, garnish with freshly chopped green onions, and serve the dish hot for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- You can adjust the level of chili powder based on your preferred spice tolerance.
- Use fresh potatoes for the best texture; waxy potatoes work well for this recipe.
- For a gluten-free version, ensure you use gluten-free noodles and tamari instead of soy sauce.
- Adding a squeeze of lemon juice before serving can enhance the flavors.
- This dish pairs well with a side of fresh salad or stir-fried vegetables for a balanced meal.
