Instructions

Step 1

Bring a big pot of salted water to a boil, then add a little oil and the pasta. Cook it until it’s almost done (about 90%), then drain and rinse under cold water to stop it from cooking further.

Step 2

While the pasta cooks, heat some oil in a large pan. Toss in the garlic and onion and sauté for a minute or two until fragrant.

Step 3

Add the chicken strips to the pan and cook them until they turn white all over, about 5 to 7 minutes. Season with salt, chili flakes, cumin powder, and pepper.

Step 4

Throw in the carrot, capsicum, and cabbage, and stir everything together for a couple of minutes until the veggies start to soften.

Step 5

Add the cooked pasta to the pan along with some vinegar, soy sauce, and chili sauce. Give it a good mix so all the flavors come together.

Step 6

Serve it up hot, sprinkled with fresh coriander leaves for a little extra brightness.
