Asian-Style Sphagetti with Garlic and Cilantro

This dish is vegetarian friendly and has the great taste of crushed peanuts to add a traditional flavor.

Ingredients:

• 1 packet spaghetti noodles
• 5-6 cloves of garlic
• 1/2 cup of fresh cilantro, and some more for garnish
• 5-6 tbsp soy sauce
• 2 tbsp sweet chili sauce
• 2 tbsp regular ketchup
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• 1 cup chopped capsicum, long slices
• 1 cup chopped red onions, long slices
• 2 tbsp chopped green onions
• 2 tbsp crushed peanuts (optional)
• 2 tbsp oil

Directions:

Boil and cook the spaghetti in water with 1 tbsp oil as instructed on the packet. Take a non-stick pan, add 2 tbsp oil and add the chopped garlic, onions and capsicum. When they are caramelized and have a glaze, add the soy sauce and salt. Cover with a lid and cook for 5-7 minutes on medium-low flame. Then, add the sweet chili sauce and ketchup, throw in the crushed peanuts and the chopped cilantro. Mix well, add the chopped green onions and leave some for garnish. Take a serving bowl and transfer the cooked pasta to it. Add the prepared veggie sauce to the noodles and toss a little to combine. Finally, garnish with the remaining chopped green onions and a bunch of fresh cilantro leaves. Serve hot.
