Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 g spaghetti or linguine
- 2 tbsp sesame oil
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1 tbsp ginger
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tbsp hoisin sauce
- 0.5 tsp red chili flakes
- 1 small carrot
- 1 medium bell pepper
- 2 stalks scallions
- 200 g cooked chicken, shrimp, or tofu (optional)
- 2 tbsp coriander leaves (optional)
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti or linguine according to the package directions. Drain and toss with 1 tablespoon of sesame oil to prevent sticking. Set aside.
Finely mince garlic and ginger. Julienne the carrot, slice the bell pepper thinly, and chop the scallions into 2-inch lengths.
In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, and red chili flakes. Mix well and set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and ginger, stirring until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add the carrot and bell pepper to the pan. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.
If using cooked chicken, shrimp, or tofu, add it to the skillet and stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes to heat through.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and pour the sauce mixture over the top. Toss everything together until evenly coated and heated, about 2-3 minutes.
Add chopped scallions and sprinkle with black pepper. Toss again briefly.
Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with coriander leaves, if desired. Serve hot.
