Vegetables In Hot Garlic Sauce
Rustic weekend meal with buckwheat noodles tossed in chilli oil and veggies in hot garlic sauce. We all love a well made Indo Chinese food, Don’t we? And this is one such soul satisfying dish you cannot go wrong with. I usually would pair it with rice but sometimes I love my variations. I did flavour it with thyme and the combination of garlic and thyme is superb!
For this recipe, I have used the vegetables available in my refrigerator, but use whatever veggies or proteins that works for you. The sauce is easy and quick. You can definitely alter the spice and heat levels based on your taste buds or dietary preferences.
Oh and did I boast about the home grown thyme yet? I am a new plant mommy and totally enjoying taking care of my plants and herbs and receiving all the love back in form of they thriving in their little pots. More on them, later!
