Stir Fry with Angel Hair Pasta

I got a new cookbook! It makes me so happy. It is full of super simple recipes with mostly common ingredients.  One of the recipes was stir fry, so of course I had to make that instantly. But I automatically made some changes because I'm very picky with my stir fry, in that I need 50 times more vegetables. 

So here's my fancy stir fry recipe!
Get in your kitchen and recruit: bean sprouts, olive oil, salt, angel hair pasta (or super thin), pepper, beef cut into thin strips, carrots, green onions, mushrooms, snow peas, oyster sauce,sesame seeds, and sweet chili sauce.
First things first, prepare all of your veggies. So wash your snow peas and cut in half.
Cut your mushrooms into big chucks.
Chop up the carrots, green onions, and baby carrots and get everything ready.
Heat some olive oil over medium heat.
Throw in your beef, add salt and pepper and brown, no longer than 5 minutes! Important because you are going to be adding this back to the heat so don't overcook it!
Yum!
Now in the same pan, throw in the carrots first and let them cook for about 3-5 minutes.
After that throw in the rest of the veggies and toss. 
Get your sauce stuff ready!
First throw in some sesame seeds. Then throw in some more. Your heart will thank you.
Add the rest of the sauce ingredients: oyster sauce and sweet chili sauce. Let that cook and get delicious. If you want you can cover it and let the veggies get just a little soft and heavenly. 

I love stir fry veggies. 
While the veggies are cooking get your pasta cooking!
Oh this is my favorite type of pasta. It sings to me. Like a choir of angels. Heh get it?
Once cooked serve your stir fry!
Of course serve it over the pasta! It's delicious, divine, and delightful!


Stir Fry with Angel Hair Pasta
  • 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil
  • 1/4 lb. Stir Fry meat (or meat cut up into strips)
  • 3 carrots sliced
  • 2 green onions sliced
  • Handful of mushrooms sliced up
  • Handful of snow peas 
  • 1 can of baby corn (halved)
  • 1/2 can of bean sprouts
  • 1/2 cup of oyster sauce
  • 1/4 cup of sweet chili sauce
  • 2 tablespoons of sesame seeds
  • Angel Hair Pasta 
  • Salt & Pepper
  1. Get all your ingredients ready, cut up all your veggies and put them to a side. Then get your water boiling for your pasta. 
  2. Next heat your olive oil over medium heat and throw in the meat and season with some salt and pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes, not too long or you'll overcook the meat!
  3. Remove the beef and put in the carrots. The thicker the slices the longer those will need to cook before the rest of the veggies. Roughly cook them for 3-4 minutes flipping them once.
  4. Add the rest of veggies: green onions, mushrooms, snow peas, baby corn, 1/4 can of bean sprouts and  tablespoon of sesame seeds.
  5. Then stir in the oyster sauce and sweet chili sauce making sure everything is evenly coated.
  6. Let that cook on medium for 5-6 minutes or until the snow peas are soft yet crunchy. That makes sense right? Yeah. 
  7. While you let your veggies cook, your pasta water should be boiling, so dump in your pasta and let it cook.
  8. The pasta and veggies should finish at the same time, be sure to be taste testing your food in case you need more sweet chili sauce or salt or pepper. Add this as well as the remainder of the bean sprouts (1/4 cup) and sesame seeds (1 tablespoon) then serve the stir fry veggies over pasta. 
  9. Mix, serve and enjoy!
Tip: If you want to add some spice throw in some chili oil or crushed red pepper at the begging just remember to adjust according to taste!
