Ingredients

1 tablespoon canola oil

3 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cubed

3 cups shredded cabbage or coleslaw mix

1 cup shredded or matchstick carrots

1 red pepper (thinly sliced)

1 cup stringless snap peas

2 teaspoons minced garlic

1 teaspoon minced ginger

¼-½ teaspoon red pepper flakes

4 cups chicken broth*

⅓ cup soy sauce*

⅓ cup hoisin sauce

340 grams whole grain spaghettini pasta (or an equal amount of fresh chow mein noodles **)

2 tablespoons water (optional)

1 tablespooon corn starch (optional)

honey for sweetening (optional)

Directions

Add oil to a large pot and cook chicken over medium-high heat, just until mostly white on the oustide.

Add pepper, peas, cabbage and carrot and cook for 2-3 minutes, until veggies are softened slightly.

Add garlic, ginger, and pepper flakes and cook 1 minute.

Stir in broth, soy sauce and hoisin sauce and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Add pasta and reduce heat to medium.

Cover and cook, stirring every couple of minutes so that the pasta doesn't stick together (we don't want clumps!), until al dente or desired tenderness is reached.

If desired, combine corn starch and water and stir into pasta to thicken sauce. You can also add a tablespoon or so of honey to balance out the soy sauce if needed. Serve.
