This is a case of Szechuan Chicken Sauce meets Red Lentil Pasta.
When you are hungry and cant for the life of you figure out what to eat but then you have an EUREKA moment, remembering that you have some leftover chinese sauce in your fridge and some pasta that has been trolling to be cooked for a while. The outcome of such a clandestine meetup in your sauce pan is this delicious looking creation presented before you. Absolutely no effort was put into creating this and I gotta tell you, it did taste as delicious as it looked.. YUM much.
Chicken sauce was from a Chinese place close to home, made with, chicken, cabbage, broccoli, pepper, water chestnut, baby corn, carrot in spicy garlic sauce.
For this phenominal mashup, I boiled some red lentil pasta till it was very tender. While that was cooking, in a sauce pan, I added some mixed vegetables to the leftover sauce, added some store bought chili garlic sauce and a drizzle of sesame oil. It was left to cook to a boil and then taken off the stove.
Now for the mashup, I added some of the sauce to the cooked pasta and let them cook together till the sauce liquid was dried up. And Voila! Dinner was ready to be served and devoured.
