What’s left…

I got these organic wholemeal spirals from my cousin in Brisbane, Australia and Melissa used most of that to cook her pasta dish while she was home for the mid-semester school break…and I still had some prawns in the freezer from that time when I cooked my own Sarawak laksa so I decided to use what’s left to cook something for breakfast.

These were the ingredients I used…

Char pasta - ingredients

…plus some dark soy sauce and sugar and of course, the prawns as well…

Char pasta - prawns

I boiled the fusilli till al dente and drained before adding the soy sauce and a sprinkling of sugar to counter the salty taste plus a bit of my missus’ pounded chili since the sliced ones were absolutely hopeless – not spicy at all and good only for colour and decoration…and mixing everything together well…

Char pasta - pasta, boiled

I fried the chopped garlic in a little bit of oil till golden brown…

Char pasta - step 1

…and then I threw in the prawns and the sliced chili…

Char pasta - step 2

When the crustaceans were sufficiently cooked, in went the pasta…

Char pasta - step 3

…and after mixing everything together and frying for a bit, I cracked the eggs…

Char pasta - step 4

…and added those as well. Once done, I mixed the chopped spring onions with all that was in the wok…

Char pasta - step 5

…and it was done!

I dished everything out onto a plate…

Char pasta 1

…and served.

Yes, it was something like char kway teow (fried flat rice noodles) and if I had some taugeh (bean sprouts), I would have added some too to make it a whole complete dish by itself…

Char pasta 2

Personally, I do feel that kway teow is nicer but this is also good especially when that is all there is in the house…or when you see it lying around and would like to use up what’s left once and for all.

P.S.:
Need extra protection, anybody? How about trying this?
