Ingredients
- ½ green cabbage, shredded
- 2 carrots, shredded
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- ⅔ cup soy sauce
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon ground mustard
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 16 oz spaghetti (1-pound box)
- 3 ½ cups water

Instructions
- Sauté Vegetables: Heat a large pot over medium-high heat. Once hot, add olive oil, cabbage, and carrots. Sauté for about 5 minutes, until vegetables begin to soften.
- Add Sauce and Pasta: Stir in soy sauce, brown sugar, ground mustard, ginger, and garlic powder. Then add the spaghetti (break in half if desired) and 3 ½ cups of water.
- Cook Noodles: Cook uncovered for 15-18 minutes, stirring every few minutes once the noodles start to soften. Stir more frequently towards the end to prevent sticking.
- Finish and Serve: Once noodles are tender, remove from heat, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and toss to combine. Garnish with additional sesame seeds and green onions, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
