Ingredients

• 300 g spaghetti or linguine
• 2 tbsp sesame oil
• 4 cloves garlic
• 1 tbsp ginger
• 3 tbsp soy sauce
• 2 tbsp oyster sauce
• 1 tbsp hoisin sauce
• 0.5 tsp red chili flakes
• 1 small carrot
• 1 medium bell pepper
• 2 stalks scallions
• 200 g cooked chicken, shrimp, or tofu (optional)
• 2 tbsp coriander leaves (optional)
• 1 tbsp vegetable oil
• 0.25 tsp black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti or linguine according to the package directions. Drain and toss with 1 tablespoon of sesame oil to prevent sticking. Set aside.

Step 2

Finely mince garlic and ginger. Julienne the carrot, slice the bell pepper thinly, and chop the scallions into 2-inch lengths.

Step 3

In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, and red chili flakes. Mix well and set aside.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and ginger, stirring until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Step 5

Add the carrot and bell pepper to the pan. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.

Step 6

If using cooked chicken, shrimp, or tofu, add it to the skillet and stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes to heat through.

Step 7

Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and pour the sauce mixture over the top. Toss everything together until evenly coated and heated, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 8

Add chopped scallions and sprinkle with black pepper. Toss again briefly.

Step 9

Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with coriander leaves, if desired. Serve hot.
