It is a color

It's not entirely green, it's not entirely brown, it's not entirely black. It's just a color that blends to the nature.

Fried Macaroni with Black Pepper Turkey

Since I've started working in Germany, I've been given the opportunity to experiment with various of cooking styles. I love frying noodles, but I found that it's much easier to fry using pasta, because the noodles retains its firmness and form longer, as long as you boil it right. And after that you can pretty much do whatever you like with it. So here's how you do it...

Ingredients (for 2 portions)
1. 200gm of boneless turkey breast sliced(It's okay to use chicken too)
2. 5 cloves of garlic, finely chopped.
3. 2 large onion, diced.
4. 1 stick of carrot, grated or sliced.
5. 1 Japanese cucumber, sliced.
6. 2 chicken eggs.
7. 500-600ml of water.
8. 1 tablespoons of sesame seed oil.
9. 1 teaspoon of salt.
10. 1 teaspoons of black pepper.
11. Some cooking oil
12. About 2-3 handful of Pasta, or around 200-300gm.
13. A few pinches of curry powder.
14. Salad dressing
15. 1 tablespoon of Soy sauce

Preparation
  1. First is to marinate the sliced turkey meat with the black pepper, soy sauce, salt, curry powder and sesame seed oil. Mix them thoroughly and evenly. Marinate for 2hours or more. Usually I'd marinate it pretty long by keeping the meet in the fridge so that the meat won't go bad.
  2. Bring the water to boiling and then cook the pasta/noodles, for 5-7minutes depending on how soft you want it.
  3. At the same time heat up the cooking oil with the other pot at high, and stir fry the chopped garlic. When all the garlic seemed to be turning a bit brown, throw in the onions and stir fry until they are soft.
  4. Carrots being the next and stir fry for around 5 minutes and then the turkey meat goes in. Keep stirring until the color of the meat turns from red to whitish, and that's the time when the black pepper are starting to be visible. It shouldn't take more than 3 minutes for the meat to be fully cooked.
  5. While the turkey's being cooked, the noodles should be ready and remove the water using a cooking basket. If the turkey is not yet cooked, and the pasta is already getting soft, you could soak it in a big bowl of cold water to keep it aldente.
  6. Put the noodles in the bowl and stir fry with the rest for a good 1 minute. Add a little bit of cooking oil if it gets too dry. After that add the eggs, and keep going for another 2 minutes. And then it's ready to serve.
Cooking the pasta with boiling water.
The ingredients. Marinated turkey, finely chopped garlic and diced onions. Sliced carrots and Japanese cucumber.
This is the end result.
The salad can be anything else of course. I'd recommend some cherry tomatoes too, which I totally forgot that I had. ^^ Enjoy and have fun!
