- 4 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp dark soy sauce
- 2 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced

- 3 stalks green onions, finely chopped
- 0.5 tsp red chili flakes (optional)
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 120 ml water
- 1 tbsp cornstarch

Instructions
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix 4 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp dark soy sauce, 2 tbsp oyster sauce, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tbsp sesame oil, 120 ml water, 1 tbsp cornstarch, and 1 tsp sugar. Stir well and set aside.
Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the minced garlic and ginger to the skillet and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the ground pork to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until browned and fully cooked.
Pour the sauce mixture into the skillet with the cooked pork. Bring it to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet and toss well to coat the noodles evenly in the sauce.
Sprinkle the chopped green onions and red chili flakes (if using) over the spaghetti. Toss again to combine.
