- 2 tablespoons soy sauce (for marinating)
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch (for marinating)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 red bell pepper, julienned
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 2 cups shredded cabbage or coleslaw mix
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon grated ginger
- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce (for sauce)

- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 1/4 cup reserved pasta water (optional)

Instructions
- Cook spaghetti according to package instructions. Drain and set aside, reserving 1/4 cup of pasta water.
- In a bowl, combine sliced chicken with 2 tablespoons soy sauce and 1 tablespoon cornstarch. Let marinate for 10–15 minutes.
- Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Stir-fry chicken until browned and cooked through, about 5–6 minutes. Remove and set aside.
- Add remaining oil to the skillet. Stir-fry bell pepper, carrots, and cabbage for 3–4 minutes until slightly tender.
- Add garlic and ginger, stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, sugar, and pepper.
- Return chicken to the skillet, add cooked spaghetti, and pour sauce over everything. Toss well to combine, adding reserved pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce.
- Cook for another 1–2 minutes until everything is heated through.
- Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds if desired, and serve hot.
Notes
- Substitute spaghetti with lo mein, ramen, or udon noodles if preferred.
- Add mushrooms or snap peas for more vegetable variety.
- For a spicier version, add chili garlic sauce or sriracha to the sauce mix.
