Ingredients

• 4 ounces of spaghetti noodles
• 2 tablespoons of sesame oil
• 1 cup of broccoli florets
• 2 thinly sliced carrots
• 2 cups of thinly sliced cabbage
• 1 cup of fresh shiitake mushrooms
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons of soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar

Directions

1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add the spaghetti and cook until al dente. Drain and rinse with cold water until the noodles are cool.

2. Heat the sesame oil in a large wok over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the broccoli, carrots, cabbage, mushrooms, and garlic and stir-fry for about 5 minutes, until the vegetables are softened but still crunchy.

3. Reduce the heat to low, add the cooked noodles and the soy sauce, rice vinegar, oyster sauce, and black pepper. Stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes until all the ingredients are mixed and heated through.

4.Mama’s favorite fun fact: Chow Mein originates from the Chinese word Chaofan, which means stir-fried rice!
