Directions
-
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the spaghetti according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining.
-
While pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken strips and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside.
-
In the same skillet, add the sliced leeks and red bell pepper. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp.
-
Stir in the minced ginger and garlic, cooking for 30 seconds until fragrant.
-
Return the chicken to the skillet. Add the drained spaghetti and toss to combine.
-
Pour in the ginger sauce (soy sauce, honey, vinegar, and cornstarch slurry). Toss vigorously, adding reserved pasta water a tablespoon at a time if needed to create a glossy coating.
-
Garnish with fresh chopped green onions or cilantro if desired. Serve immediately while hot.
