Prep and cook time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

• 400g dried curly fettuccine pasta

• 3 tbsp vegetable oil

• 4 cloves garlic, minced

• 3 cm piece ginger, grated

• 1/2 bunch onion chives, chopped

• 2 tbsp Lainey's chilli oil

• 1/2 Lebanese cucumber, sliced into long fine strips

• 1 tsp sesame oil

Method

1. Cook curly pasta in boiling salted water according to instructions on the packet.

2. Mix together all ingredients for the spicy sauce mixture; set aside.

3. Place a large frying pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add oil and let it heat for a minute.

4. Add grated ginger and sauté for half a minute, then add garlic. Keep sautéing until golden brown, careful not to let it burn.

5. Add onion chives, then add Lainey's chilli oil. Stir for half a minute before adding pasta. Lower the heat.

6. Give everything a good stir together, then add the soy mixture. Mix and toss until mixture covers all the pasta. Cook for another 3 minutes, then turn the heat off.

Serving suggestion: Plate it up in a bowl, then garnish with sliced cucumber, a few squeezes of mayonnaise, a sprinkle of sesame seeds and coriander (optional). Don't forget to add extra Lainey's chilli oil.
