Malaysian Style Vegetarian Fettucine Goreng/ Fried Vegetarian Fettucine 

Ingredients:

Fettucine - 1/2 packet

Shredded cabbage : 4 handfuls

Carrot - 1 (cut length wise)

French beans - 15 ( cut in big pieces)

Fresh bean sprouts:  1 handful

Large ripe tomato : 1

Medium sized onion - 1 

Garlic : 4 cloves

Salt : as needed

Spring onion - some

Vegetable oil - 4 tablespoons

Sambal Paste :

Dry red chilies - 10

Garlic - 7 cloves

small onion - 1

Ginger - 1 inch piece

Method :

1. Finely shred the cabbage and soak in salted hot water for 5 min and discard the water. Rinse off the bean sprouts. Keep everything aside separately.

2. In a deep bottom pan, enough water is added along with salt and 1 tsp of oil. Bring the water to boil and start adding the fettucine. Cook until it is al dente or cooked to be firm to the bite. Drain off the excess water by using a colander and rinse the pasta under the running cold water. 

3. In a pan, pour four tablespoons of vegetable oil and when it's hot, add finely sliced shallots or onion and finely chopped garlic. Fry them till translucent. Now is the time to add diced tomato and 3 to 4 tablespoons of sambal paste. Fry till the raw smell of chili disappears and diced tomato turns mushy.

4. Next, add shredded cabbage, length wise cut carrot and beans. Sauté lightly for 10 minutes as you don't want to over cook the vegetables. Keep the vegetables crunchy. Season your mixture with salt. 

5. Next, add cooked fettucine. Stir the vegetables and fettucine until the sambal paste brings all together. Lastly, add beans sprouts and chopped spring onion. Mix for 5 minutes  and serve hot.
