Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams dried noodles (spaghetti, soba, or rice noodles)
- 3 medium-sized carrots
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill
- 2 cloves garlic
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the noodles are cooking, peel the carrots and shred them using a box grater or a food processor with a shredding attachment.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and dill. Mince the garlic cloves.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
Add the shredded carrots to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until just tender but still slightly crisp.
Stir in the soy sauce, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes (if using). Mix well to coat the carrots in the seasoning.
Add the cooked noodles to the skillet and toss everything together until well combined and heated through.
Remove from the heat and stir in the chopped parsley and dill.
Divide the noodles and herbed carrots among serving plates or bowls and serve immediately. Enjoy!
