Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces angel hair pasta
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
- 1 medium carrot, julienned
- 1 medium red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 cup snap peas
- 2 stalks green onions, chopped
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the angel hair pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
Add the minced garlic and ginger to the skillet. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
Add the julienned carrot, sliced red bell pepper, and snap peas to the skillet. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes (if using).
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the vegetables and toss to combine.
Pour the sauce mixture into the skillet and stir well to evenly coat the pasta and vegetables. Cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Adjust seasonings as needed.
Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
Serve immediately as a main dish or pair with your favorite protein, such as grilled chicken, shrimp, or tofu.
