- 1 cup bell peppers (red, yellow, or green), thinly sliced
- 1 cup snap peas
- 1 cup shiitake mushrooms, sliced

Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the spaghetti or linguine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet or wok, heat sesame oil over medium-high heat.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Toss in the carrots, bell peppers, snap peas, shiitake mushrooms, and broccoli florets. Stir-fry the vegetables for 4-5 minutes until they are tender but still crisp.
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, honey, and sriracha (if using).
Pour the sauce over the vegetables in the skillet, stirring to coat evenly. Let it cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to combine with the vegetables and sauce.
Sprinkle with green onions, toasted sesame seeds, and fresh cilantro (if desired).
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve warm and enjoy!
