Not knowing how to prepare noodles, that is… Chinese spaghetti, I wanted to try making them with vegetables. The result was quite satisfying. This recipe can be prepared in a short time. As for the taste, it is certainly not comparable to that of our Italian spaghetti as different flours are used. Noodles are made from wheat flour, salt, and water, but you will find variants with other flours in the market. They can be eaten as a first course.

Steps
Quick instant noodles here on Amazon 
Wash the vegetables: zucchini, tomatoes, and carrots, and dice them.
In a pan, heat the oil and add the finely chopped onion; after it turns golden, add the vegetables.
Add salt, and after the vegetables are sautéed, sprinkle with broth. You can also make the broth with a vegetable bouillon cube.
Cover the pan with the lid and check occasionally to see if water needs to be added. Cook for about fifteen to twenty minutes.
Meanwhile, cook the noodles as you would with pasta in a pot of boiling water for the time indicated on the package. My package stated five minutes.
Drain the noodles and pour them into the pan with the vegetables. Mix everything together, serve, and enjoy. Try this novelty that is not part of Italian cuisine but is becoming increasingly popular worldwide.
Tips
Be careful with the cooking time, it takes less time than spaghetti.
