Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a large skillet, heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add bite-sized pieces of chicken and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  2. Stir in the shredded green cabbage and carrots into the pan with the chicken. Continue to sauté for about 3-5 minutes, until the vegetables are softened.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, ground mustard, ground ginger, and garlic powder until well combined. Set aside.
  4. Pour the sauce mixture and spaghetti into the skillet with the sautéed chicken and vegetables. Add water, increase heat to high and bring to a boil, stirring frequently.
  5. Once boiling, reduce heat to low and cover the skillet. Allow to simmer for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until noodles are tender and most liquid is absorbed.
  6. Once cooked, remove skillet from heat. Garnish with sesame seeds and serve hot.
