Chapati Noodles

Ingredients:

• Leftover chapatis (Indian flatbread)
• 1 onion, thinly sliced
• 1 bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 1 carrot, julienned
• 1 cup cabbage, thinly sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 green chilies, sliced (optional)
• 2 tablespoons oil
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon vinegar
• 1 tablespoon tomato ketchup
• Salt to taste
• Black pepper to taste
• Chopped cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Take your leftover chapatis and cut them into thin strips, like noodles. Set aside.
2. Heat oil in a pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and sliced green chilies (if using) and sauté for a minute until fragrant.
3. Add thinly sliced onions and sauté until they turn translucent.
4. Throw in the sliced bell pepper, julienned carrots, and thinly sliced cabbage. Stir-fry the vegetables for a couple of minutes until they start to soften but still have a bit of crunch.
5. Now add the chapati strips to the pan. Toss everything together until the chapati strips are coated with the oil and mixed well with the vegetables.
6. In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, vinegar, and tomato ketchup. Pour this sauce mixture over the chapati noodles in the pan.
7. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Give everything a good mix to ensure the sauce is evenly distributed.
8. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through and the chapati noodles have absorbed the flavors of the sauce.
9. Remove from heat and transfer the chapati noodles to a serving dish.
10. Garnish with chopped cilantro if desired, and serve hot.
