Equipment I Used

How to Make It

Prepare the Sauce

In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup reduced sodium soy sauce, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tbsp packed brown sugar, 2 tsp freshly grated ginger, and 1/4 tsp white pepper. Set the sauce aside for later use.

Cook the Spaghetti

In a large pot of boiling water, add 8 ounces of spaghetti and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Sauté the Vegetables

After draining the spaghetti, return the stockpot to the stove and heat 2 tbsp olive oil over medium-high heat. Add 1 diced onion and 3 diagonally sliced celery ribs. Cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are tender, about 3-4 minutes.

Stir in 2 cups of shredded cabbage and cook until just heated through, about 1 minute. The cabbage should still have a bit of crunch.
