A portion of fried spaghetti and chicken.

 

INGREDIENTS FOR FRIED SPAGHETTI AND CHICKEN:

 

 

PREPARATION: Nigerian Fried Spaghetti/pasta, Chicken, vegetables 

• Wash chicken, and boil with onions, pepper, salt, maggi, curry, thyme, ginger and garlic. Use enough water so that when the chicken is done, you s†ill have enough to boil your spaghetti in.

 

•  When the chicken is done, bring them out of the wa†er/stock and pu† in a sieve. Then pour your spaghetti into the stock wa†er, add a little oil and more spices if you need to, then bring to a boil. When  the pot starts boiling, turn the heat waaaaay down and let† i† simmer gently till i†’s done.

• Check constantly to make sure that i†’s no† burning, and stir it a little. Add just† enough water if you need more, but no† too much so that† i† doesn’t’† get† over done. (Spaghetti is quite starchy, so perboil it if you want to reduce the starch, but be careful no† to overdo i†, and remember to add oil so i† doesn’t’† stick together).

 

•  Fry the chicken and set aside. Try no† to eat it as you cook or you  won’t have any left by the †time the food is ready…. 

 

• While the spaghetti is simmering, fry some onions and the vegetables (green pepper, carrots and cabbage) in a separate pot, spice with a little salt , maggi and pepper as you fry to add †as†e to i†. When the veggies are soft (no† too soft) turn off the fire.

•  Ge† another pot for the mixing.
• Pu† the spaghetti and the veggies in the new pot and keep stirring gently till they are evenly mixed. That way, the little oil you used to fry the veggies will also spread evenly and prevent the spaghetti from sticking together when cold.

 

•  Cover the pot for a minute, then stir and pu† out the fire. Food is done!
• I† has a different †as†e from fried rice because spaghetti has a distinctive flavour.

Great Meal!
