Ingredients

1/2 green cabbage, shredded

2 carrots, shredded

1 tablespoon oil (neutral oil like olive or vegetable)

1/4 cup soy sauce (use low-sodium for less salt)

1/4 cup brown sugar

1 teaspoon ground mustard

1 teaspoon ground ginger

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 pound spaghetti

3 1/2 cups water

Sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions

  • Heat a large pot over medium-high heat and add oil. Once hot, sauté the shredded cabbage and carrots for about 5 minutes, or until they start to soften.

  • Add soy sauce, brown sugar, ground mustard, ground ginger, and garlic powder. Stir to combine.

  • Add the spaghetti (break it in half if preferred) and 3 1/2 cups of water. Bring to a simmer.

  • Cook uncovered for 15-18 minutes, stirring occasionally. If the noodles aren't fully cooked and the liquid is low, add up to 1/2 cup of water and cook until the noodles are tender and the sauce thickens.

  • Once done, serve the noodles topped with sesame seeds.

Notes

  • Add Protein: For a non-vegetarian option, add cooked chicken or tofu.

  • Noodle Options: Swap spaghetti for rice noodles or udon noodles.

  • Extra Veggies: Try bell peppers, snap peas, or mushrooms for added flavor and texture.
