Ingredients

• 400 grams spaghetti
• 500 grams chicken breast (boneless, skinless)
• 4 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
• 2 teaspoons sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 3 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon ginger (grated)
• 1 red bell pepper (sliced into thin strips)
• 1 carrot (julienned)
• 3 stalks green onions (sliced)
• 1 tablespoon white sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain, rinse under cold water, and set aside.

Step 2

Slice the chicken breast into thin strips and season with salt and black pepper.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, and brown sugar. Set the sauce aside.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken strips and stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the same skillet. Stir-fry the minced garlic and grated ginger for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the red bell pepper and carrot to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Step 7

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and pour in the sauce. Mix well to coat the chicken and vegetables evenly.

Step 8

Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet and toss everything together until the noodles are coated with the sauce and heated through, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 9

Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy this flavorful fusion dish!
