When it comes to pasta dishes, Italian cuisine has always been a go-to for many of us. From creamy carbonara to spicy arrabbiata, there’s no denying the variety of flavours this cuisine has to offer. But what if we told you that you could turn an otherwise traditional Italian dish into something completely new and exciting? Enter: Fried Oriental Style Tagliatelle.
This dish takes all the classic elements of Italian pasta—thin, ribbon-like noodles—with the addition of a flavourful twist drawing from Oriental cuisine. The noodles are stir- in a blend of savoury spices, mixed with vegetables and aromatics to create a perfect meal with an enticing aroma and a bold explosion of flavours in the mouth.
To make this delectable dish, you will need three essential components: the tagliatelle pasta, vegetables of your choice, and Oriental-style seasonings.
First, cook the tagliatelle pasta according to package instructions. When cooked al-dente, drain and rinse the noodles with cold water. Set aside.
Next, chop up your vegetables into small, bite-size pieces. Popular choices for this dish include bell peppers, carrots, mushrooms, and onions. Heat up a skillet or wok with a couple of tablespoons of oil in it. Add the vegetables and stir-fry for around 3-4 minutes until they are cooked to crisp-tender consistency.
For the seasoning, mix up the classic Chinese five-spice blend with some soy sauce, oyster sauce, garlic, ginger and sesame oil. The combination of these ingredients will add a perfect balance of saltiness, savouriness, and umami—giving the dish a distinctively Oriental taste.
Add your cooked tagliatelle to the skillet or wok with the vegetables, pour in the seasoning, and sizzle the mixture for another few minutes until everything is evenly distributed. Keep the noodles moving constantly so they don’t stick to the pan. After a couple of minutes, the noodles will start to crisp up to give the dish ly crispy and crunchy texture.
Garnish with some sesame seeds and fresh chopped cilantro, and your Fried Oriental Style Tagliatelle is complete. Serve hot and enjoy!
