Ingredients

Scale

Protein

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces

Vegetables

  • ½ green cabbage, shredded
  • 2 carrots, shredded

Sauce and Seasoning

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

Pasta and Oils

  • 16 oz spaghetti (1-pound box, can break in half if preferred)
  • 3 ½ cups water
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Garnishes

  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • Optional: green onions, additional sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cook Chicken: Heat a large skillet or pot over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Add the bite-sized chicken pieces and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Sauté Vegetables: Add the shredded cabbage and carrots to the skillet with the chicken. Sauté together for approximately 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables begin to soften.
  3. Add Sauce Ingredients: Stir in the soy sauce, brown sugar, ground mustard, ground ginger, and garlic powder to combine evenly with the chicken and vegetables.
  4. Add Pasta and Water: Add the uncooked spaghetti noodles (breaking in half if desired) to the skillet or pot, then pour in 3 ½ cups of water.
  5. Cook Noodles: Cook uncovered over medium-high heat for 15-18 minutes, stirring occasionally at first, then more frequently as the noodles soften to prevent sticking. Ensure the noodles become tender and absorb the sauce.
  6. Finish and Serve: Once noodles are fully cooked and tender, remove the pan from heat. Toss in sesame seeds and mix well. Serve immediately, garnished with extra sesame seeds and optional green onions.

Notes

  • Water absorption varies by pasta brand; if noodles are not fully cooked and water is almost gone, add an additional ½ cup water and continue cooking until done.
  • Napa cabbage, broccoli, or snap peas can be used in place of green cabbage for a different flavor and texture.
  • For reheating leftovers, sprinkle some water over the noodles before microwaving to prevent drying out.
  • Leftovers store well in the fridge for up to 3 days in an airtight container; reheat on stovetop or microwave with added water to maintain sauce consistency.
  • This dish can be frozen for up to 2 months; thaw overnight in refrigerator and reheat with a splash of water.
