Ingredients

  • 2/3 cup soy sauce
  • 4 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh garlic
  • 2 tablespoons fresh ginger
  • 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
  • 3/4 lbs thin spaghetti noodles
  • 1/2 cup chopped purple onion
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • 1 red bell pepper chopped

Optional Add-Ins

  • cashews chopped
  • La Choy chow mein noodles
  • chopped green onion

Instructions

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Stirring occasionally, cook spaghetti until al dente but still firm to the bite, about 12 minutes.
  • Combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, sweet chili sauce, ginger, and garlic in a small bowl. Whisk to combine and set aside.
  • Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and red bell pepper and cook until fragrant – approximately 60-90 seconds. Add the carrots to the veggies and stir to combine and cook another minute or two, until the peppers and onions are tender.
  • Add the sauce to the pan and mix well to combine. Bring to a gentle simmer.
  • Add the cooked noodles to the simmering sauce. Gently toss to combine. Remove from heat.
  • Sprinkle with the cilantro and chopped cashews. Best served immediately.
