Ingredients
Scale
- ½ green cabbage, shredded
- 2 carrots, shredded
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- ⅔ cup soy sauce
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon ground mustard
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 16oz spaghetti (1 pound box)
- 3 ½ cups water
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Instructions
- Begin by heating a large pot over medium-high heat. Once hot, add 1 teaspoon of olive oil. You’ll know it’s ready when the oil shimmers slightly.
- Add the shredded cabbage and carrots to the pot. Sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables start to soften and turn a vibrant color—this is your cue to move on.
- Pour in ⅔ cup of soy sauce and ½ cup of brown sugar, followed by ½ teaspoon of ground mustard, 1 teaspoon of ground ginger, and ½ teaspoon of garlic powder. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
- Next, add the 16oz of spaghetti to the pot. If it’s easier for you, feel free to break the spaghetti in half. Then, pour in 3 ½ cups of water. This will help the noodles cook evenly.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and cook uncovered for 15-18 minutes. Stir every few minutes, especially as the noodles begin to soften. Avoid letting them stick to the bottom of the pot; the goal is to have them tender but not mushy.
- Once the noodles are cooked through and have absorbed most of the liquid, remove the pot from heat. Toss in 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds for extra crunch and flavor.
- Serve immediately, garnishing with additional sesame seeds and optional green onions for a fresh touch. Enjoy your meal!
