Perfect as a vegetarian main dish or as a delicious side to complement teriyaki chicken, it’s a family-friendly recipe that’s both satisfying and simple to prepare.


Ingredients

Vegetables

  • ½ green cabbage, shredded
  • 2 carrots, shredded

Sauce

  • ⅔ cup soy sauce
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ½ teaspoon ground mustard
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

Dry Ingredients

  • 16 oz spaghetti (1 pound box)

Others

  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 3 ½ cups water
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Vegetables: Heat a large pot over medium-high heat. Once hot, add 1 teaspoon of olive oil, shredded green cabbage, and shredded carrots. Sauté the vegetables for about 5 minutes until they start to become tender.
  2. Add Sauce Ingredients: Stir in ⅔ cup soy sauce, ½ cup brown sugar, ½ teaspoon ground mustard, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, and ½ teaspoon garlic powder into the pot with the vegetables, mixing well to combine.
  3. Add Noodles and Water: Add 16 oz spaghetti noodles to the pot. You may break the spaghetti in half if desired for easier cooking. Pour in 3 ½ cups of water, ensuring the noodles are submerged.
  4. Cook Noodles: Cook uncovered for 15-18 minutes. When the spaghetti starts to soften and become bendable, stir the pot every few minutes, increasing stirring frequency near the end to prevent the noodles from sticking to the bottom.
  5. Finish and Serve: Once the noodles are fully cooked and the sauce has thickened, remove the pot from heat. Toss in 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds, mix well, and serve immediately. Garnish with additional sesame seeds and optional green onions if desired.

Notes

  • Different pasta brands may require slightly different water amounts; add an extra ½ cup water if the noodles aren’t tender toward the end of cooking and water has reduced.
  • Nappa cabbage can be used as a substitute for green cabbage.
  • To reheat leftovers, splash a little water on the noodles before microwaving to keep them moist.
