Fried Fusilli is a great meal for lunch or dinner. You can prepare it the Western way or the Chinese way like I have done. The Western style may be a bit heavy for some people due to the addition of cheese. The way I have cooked it merely involve frying the fusilli with meat, eggs and vegetables. You may replace the meat with seafood like prawns, crab meat, fresh scallops, mussels or even fish slices which had been deep fried. You can also add the various types of mushrooms that you can find in the market or supermarket.
- To fry the fusilli, first boil it according to the instructions on the packaging. Once done, set it aside.
- I am using minced meat in this dish. Usually I will buy the ready one from my butcher.
- I like using broccoli as it is sweet and it gives a contrast to the beige colour fusilli. Wash and cut into little florets and set aside.
- Peel the carrots. Wash and cut them and set them aside.
- Sometimes I will add cauliflowers. In this instance I will be using only broccoli.
- Prepare 2 eggs.
- Prepare some garlic.
- Heat up some cooking and fry the eggs. Stir to break the eggs up and once cooked, dish them out. Set aside.
- Pour some sesame oil into the kuali. Saute the garlic till fragrant. Add in the minced meat. When they are almost cooked, add in the stems of the broccoli and the carrots. Half-way through add in the broccoli florets and stir fry them till cooked, adding some water if necessary. Add in the chilli padi.
- Pour in the fusilli when the sauce is boiling and stir.
- Add the seasonings like salt, light soy sauce and pepper.
- Your dish is ready to be served.
