Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, and chicken stock. Stir well to create the sauce and set aside.

Step 3

Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.

Step 4

Add the sliced chicken breast to the wok. Season with salt and black pepper. Stir-fry the chicken for 5-7 minutes, or until cooked through. Remove the chicken from the wok and set aside.

Step 5

In the same wok, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add minced garlic, ginger, and shiitake mushrooms. Stir-fry for 2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the julienned carrot and zucchini to the wok. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Step 7

Return the cooked chicken to the wok and pour in the sauce mixture. Stir and let it simmer for 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Step 8

Add the cooked spaghetti to the wok. Toss everything together to coat the noodles in the sauce.

Step 9

Drizzle sesame oil over the noodles and give it one final toss.
