Ingredients

  • 1 pound Dry Spaghetti
  • 0.25 cup Soy Sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Sesame Oil
  • 1 tablespoon Brown Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Fresh Ginger, minced
  • 3 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 cup Shredded Carrots
  • 1 cup Snow Peas
  • 1 cup Sliced Mushrooms
  • 1 tablespoon Baking Soda(optional)
  • 2 tablespoons Vegetable Oil
  • 0.5 cup Green Onions, sliced

Instructions

  1. 1

    Boil a large pot of water and add the baking soda; this alters the pH to give the spaghetti a springy, alkaline texture similar to lo mein noodles.

  2. 2

    Cook the spaghetti according to package directions until al dente, then drain and set aside.

  3. 3

    In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, ginger, and half of the minced garlic to create the sauce.

  4. 4

    Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

  5. 5

    Add the remaining garlic, mushrooms, carrots, and snow peas, stir-frying for 3-4 minutes until tender-脆 (tender-crisp).

  6. 6

    Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet and pour the sauce mixture over the top.

  7. 7

    Toss everything together for 2 minutes using tongs until the noodles are evenly coated and heated through.

  8. 8

    Garnish with sliced green onions and serve immediately.
