Ingredients
  

For the Chicken and Sauce
  • 0.5 cup brown sugar Balances the salty soy sauce and adds sweetness; honey is a great natural alternative.
  • 0.667 cup soy sauce Low-sodium soy sauce helps cut down on saltiness.
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground mustard Can be omitted for a milder taste.
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger Substitute with 1 tablespoon of fresh grated ginger for added zing.
  • 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder Fresh minced garlic can add a lively aroma.
For the Noodles and Veggies
  • 16 oz spaghetti Feel free to use rice noodles for a gluten-free version.
  • 0.5 head green cabbage Bok choy is a suitable substitute for a similar texture.
  • 2 pieces carrots Shredding or julienning them ensures even cooking.
For Cooking
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil Necessary for sautéing the vegetables; sesame oil can enrich the flavors even further.
  • 3.5 cups water Consider using chicken broth for an extra punch of flavor.
For Garnish (Optional)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds Chopped peanuts are a tasty alternative.

Equipment

  • skillet

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large skillet, heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil over medium heat. Once shimmering, add ½ green cabbage, chopped, along with 2 shredded carrots. Sauté for about 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender and vibrant, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking and prevent sticking.
  2. Add bite-sized pieces of chicken to the pan, spreading them evenly. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and turns a golden brown.
  3. Stir in ⅔ cup of soy sauce, ½ cup of brown sugar, ½ teaspoon of ground mustard, 1 teaspoon of ground ginger, and ½ teaspoon of garlic powder. Mix well, allowing the ingredients to meld for about 1-2 minutes.
  4. Add 16 ounces of spaghetti and 3 ½ cups of water to the skillet, making sure the noodles are submerged. Increase the heat to bring everything to a vigorous boil, then reduce to medium-low, cover the skillet, and let simmer for 10-15 minutes until the pasta is tender.
  5. Once the noodles have absorbed the sauce, remove the skillet from heat. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds over the top for added crunch and flavor.
