Fast Spaghettini Dish

                       

                                                        Fried Spaghetti

Hi guys :) this week has been a very hectic week for me and hence I've been cooking some fast dishes in order to save time and maybe have some minutes of extra sleep.

One of the weekday dishes that I made was this EASY Pasta dish with some leftover spaghetti that I had!

Its quite easy and tastes as good as if you spent enough time to cook a normal main dish! Oh and it only takes a few minutes to cook !

Ingredients:

• Leftover Spaghettini or spaghetti

• 2 Eggs (depends on the quantity of spaghetti)

• Grated Cheese

• Bacon / Ham (or both)

• Sliced Mushrooms (Optional)

• Basil

• Mixed Herbs (Italian)   

• Salt

• Pepper

• Oil for frying

Method:

• In a bowl put the left over spaghetti and combine with the eggs. Make sure that the whole spaghetti is covered and not too dry

• Put the rest of the ingredients and stir until well combined

• In a frying pan, heat up some oil and when hot put the spaghetti mixture

• After a few minutes when you see the bottom is getting golden, just flip over so as the other side gets fried too

• When both sides are well fried, switch off the stove and serve

Easy right? :)

Fried Seaweed

             A Taste of China: Fried Seaweed

©  C.Armeni

Hello Bloggers :) Today Im dying to cook this dish again but I have no time to go and buy so I'll Have to wait for another time. I've been cooking this easy dish for the past 2 months I guess as I was tired of having to buy such a small portion for an amount of money and in the long run its not worth it. 

So I decided to start buying seaweed and frying them myself and I can assure you that it tastes very much like the seaweed I tasted at Chinese restaurants and much better than buying prepared ones at the supermarkets.

For this recipe, you do not need much ingredients and it will only take you a couple of minutes to cook so find below the ingredients used and the method!

Please do not forget to leave your comments and feedback and anything you would like to add. Also you can even send an email on cristamysti@gmail.com if you have any questions!

Ingredients:

• Seaweed (You can buy Sushi Seaweed - I use the Blue Dragon Seaweed)
  
• Olive Oil
  
• Rock Salt (Course Salt)
  
• Ground Ginger (Optional)

Method:

• Cut the seaweed sheet in really thin strips in a bowl and put some rock salt while mixing the seaweed strips
  
• In a frying pan, heat some olive oil and when it is hot enough, put seaweed strips along with some more rock salt for taste
  
• Mix it constantly so as not to get burned for approximately 2-4 minutes maximum
  
• When you see that the seaweed  is changing colour and getting crispy-like mix the ginger (1/4 of a teaspoon) if using and switch off the heat
  
• Serve in a bowl or as a condiment with any chinese dish

Enjoy :]!
