Ingredients
- Spaghetti (or your preferred pasta)
- Chicken breasts (sliced into thin strips)
- Corn starch (for coating the chicken)
- Sesame oil (for flavor)
- Black pepper (to taste)
- Shaoxing wine (for marinating the chicken)
- Onions (sliced)
- Spring onions (chopped)
- Mixed peppers (sliced; bell peppers work well)
- Garlic (minced)
- Carrots (julienned or sliced)
- Chilli (sliced; adjust to your spice preference)
- Soy sauce (for seasoning)
- Dark soy sauce (for color and depth of flavor)
- Oyster sauce (for richness)
- Rice wine vinegar (for a touch of acidity)
Instructions
- Boil a pot of salted water and cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- In a bowl, combine the sliced chicken breasts with Shaoxing wine, corn starch, black pepper, and a drizzle of sesame oil. Let it marinate for about 15-20 minutes to enhance the flavor.
- In a large wok or frying pan, heat a tablespoon of sesame oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the marinated chicken to the hot wok. Stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and lightly browned. Remove the chicken from the wok and set aside.
- In the same wok, add a bit more sesame oil if needed. Add the sliced onions, garlic, and chilli. Stir-fry for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add the mixed peppers, carrots, and spring onions. Stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
- Return the cooked chicken to the wok with the vegetables. Add the cooked spaghetti and toss everything together.
- Pour in the soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, and a splash of rice wine vinegar. Toss everything well to ensure the pasta and chicken are evenly coated with the sauces. Adjust seasoning to taste.
- Once everything is heated through and well combined, remove from heat. Serve hot, garnished with additional chopped spring onions if desired.
This Nigerian stir-fry pasta is not only quick to prepare but also bursting with flavor and nutrition. Feel free to customize the vegetables or protein based on your preferences.
