Creamy Miso Pasta

I've been thinking of lots of different things to try and cook since I have so much free time during the winter break. I was thinking on the lines of fusion and I haven't eaten pasta in a while and this is what I came up with.

The best part about this recipe was the extra seaweed. Gave an additional texture of crunch to the dish :3





Seaweed has officially taken over as the best snack to eat if I have cravings for something crunchy and crispy. Instead of chips, it's a healthier and cheaper alternative :)

Ingredients:

Garlic (1-2 cloves)
Chicken (100-150g)
Spaghetti (around 1 serving) 
Thicken Cream (100-200ml) 
Cooking Oil
Seaweed
Miso Paste (~1tbs)

• Step 1, boil some water in a pot. 

• Step 2, while the water is taking it time to boil, cut up the garlic, chicken (and seaweed).
• Step 3, when the water boils, place the spaghetti in.
• Step 4, heat up the oil in a saucepan.

Make sure that there's not too much oil or the dish will turn out really oily due to the thicken cream and excess oil.

• Step 5, when the oil heats up, throw the cut up garlic into the pan.
• Step 6, when the garlic fragrance is in the air, add the chicken into the pan 

 Not when the garlic browns as it usually means that your garlic is going to be burnt soon.

• Step 7, don't forget to check on your pasta! If it's done, drain it and place it one side.
• Step 8, after one/both sides of the chicken is slightly cooked, pour the thicken cream, miso into the pan and mix well.
• Step 9,  After the miso paste has dissolved, test the flavour and if necessary, add more paste.
• Step 10, Add in the pasta and mix well. 
• Step 11, if the sauce is still very liquid like, continue to heat to allow the sauce to thicken
• Step 12, add the seaweed. Depending on your own preference, mix it into the dish, or just sprinkle some on top.
• ENJOY!

I had fun making this recipe. Every time I try something new and spontaneous is makes me all excited and jumpy. I just can't wait to find out how a recipe will turn out! I hope you have fun making and eating this dish like I did!

Hugs for everyone~ Have fun!
