Ingredients
For the Sauce
- – ¼ cup soy sauce
- – ¼ cup liquid honey
- – ¼ cup water or chicken stock
- – 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- – 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- – 3 garlic cloves minced
- – 1 tablespoon oil
For the Stir-Fry
- – ½ pound spaghettini pasta
- – ½ tablespoon oil
- – 1 large chicken breast diced
- – 2 large onions sliced into thin wedges
- – 1 large yellow bell pepper cut into strips
- – 1 large red bell pepper cut into strips
- – 1 large carrot julienned or sliced into thin strips
- – 2 cups thinly sliced red cabbage loosely measured
To Serve
- – Sliced green onions
- – Fresh cilantro leaves
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk all the sauce ingredients thoroughly until well combined, then set aside.
- Cook the spaghettini according to the directions on the package, drain well, and set aside.
- Meanwhile, heat ½ tablespoon of oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet or pot over medium-high heat. A wok is ideal, but a wide frying pan or Dutch oven will also work. Add the diced chicken and sauté for 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally until lightly browned.
- Add the prepared vegetables to the pan and stir-fry for 3–4 minutes, stirring frequently to keep them crisp-tender. Pour in the sauce and let it come to a quick bubble, stirring constantly to coat everything evenly.
- Add the cooked pasta, toss everything together until well combined, and serve garnished with sliced green onions and fresh cilantro.
