- 1 tablespoon garlic minced
- 1 cup fresh pea pods halved
- 2 medium carrots peeled & sliced (about ¾ cup)
- 2-3 celery stalks sliced
- 1 bell pepper sliced (any color)
- 1-2 cups broccoli florets

Instructions
- Make Sauce: In a small bowl, add ⅓ cup soy sauce, 1 tablespoon garlic, 1 teaspoon coconut sugar, 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, ½ teaspoon sesame oil, ¼ teaspoon fish sauce, ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper, and 1 ½ teaspoons sriracha (if using). Whisk to combine and set aside.
- Boil: Bring large pot of water to a boil and cook 8 ounces spaghetti noodles, al dente, according to package instructions.
- Sauté: Meanwhile, bring a large cast iron skillet to a medium high heat. Add 2-3 tablespoons butter and let melt. Add 1 tablespoon garlic and allow to cook until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
- Cook Veggies: Add 1 cup fresh pea pods (halved), carrots, celery, bell pepper, 1-2 cups broccoli florets and red onion. Stir to mix and allow to cook until vegetables become soft enough to pierce with fork, about 6-7 minutes, moving around periodically.
- Mushrooms: Add 8 ounces fresh mushrooms and stir to combine. Cover and allow vegetables to continue cooking, about 2-3 minutes.
- Combine: Drain the cooked pasta and add to pan. Pour sauce over and stir to combine, allowing sauce to coat the noodles and vegetables.
- Serve: Enjoy immediately!
Notes
- Noodles: Use regular spaghetti noodles, traditional lo mein noodles or gluten free noodles!
- Soy Sauce: substitute coconut aminos, if you are gluten-free!
- Teriyaki Spin: feel free to use our homemade teriyaki sauce recipe to add a fun, new flavor!
- Other Veggies: bok choy, water chestnuts or even spinach would also be great additions to this dish!
- Storage Tips: This makes great leftovers! Simply store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. When reheating feel free to add an extra splash or two of soy sauce (or coconut aminos) as the pasta will soak up some of the sauce!
