Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz spaghetti
- 1 lb chicken breast, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 cups mixed vegetables (e.g., bell peppers, carrots, broccoli)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tbsp oyster sauce
- 2 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tsp water
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
Instructions
- Cook the spaghetti according to package instructions. Drain, rinse under cold water, and set aside.
- Heat 1 tbsp of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken slices, season with salt and pepper, and stir-fry for 5-6 minutes until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining oil. Sauté the garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add mixed vegetables and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp.
- Return the chicken to the skillet. Add soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, sugar, ground ginger, and chicken broth. Mix well and let it simmer for 2 minutes.
- Stir in the cornstarch mixture to thicken the sauce. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce coats the chicken and vegetables.
- Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet and toss everything together until evenly combined.
- Garnish with green onions and serve immediately.
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can add chili flakes or a dash of hot sauce for a spicy kick.
- You can swap the chicken for tofu or shrimp for different variations.
