100 grams carrots
100 grams snap green beans
100 grams sweet corn
100 grams cabbage
100 grams spinach.
100 grams onion, chopped coarsely
15 grams green chili, sliced into fine
pieces.
5 grams ginger
9 grams garlic
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon of salt
Spices
1/4 teaspoon of pepper
Seasoning powder that came with the
noodles.
Ginger has excellent digestive
capabilities. But I have limited it to the minimum because of its
blood thinning properties and because in bigger quantities it may
irritate a weak stomach.
Preparation
I processed the main vegetables
carrots, snap green beans, sweet corn and cabbage in a food
processor until they are cut into very fine pieces. Processing in
this manner makes the vegetables easily digestible. I removed all the
stems from the spinach and took only the leaves. Spinach is easily
digestible and therefore it does not need to be sliced.

| Onion and green chili |
In a medium sized pan bring 1 liter of
water to the boil. When the water comes to the boil add the noodles,
reduced the heat to medium and boil for 3 minutes. After three
minutes switch off the heat and let the noodles stand in the pan for
1 minute. Drain the water using a colander and let the noodles drip
dry in the colander.
Method
In a large pan or a wok heat the oil
and when the oil is hot reduce the heat to medium and add the onion
and green chili. Fry for about 5 minutes or till the onions are
translucent.
