How to Make Asian Syle Spaghetti With Sweet Chili Lime Sauce
- Cook 1 pound of spaghetti according to package directions. Reserve about 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining.
- While spaghetti cooks, microwave 1 cup of frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, broccoli) until thawed. You can also steam or sauté them for a deeper flavor.
- In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add 1 pound of cooked protein (chicken, shrimp, or tofu) and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until heated through. If using raw protein, cook it completely before adding other ingredients.
- Add the thawed vegetables to the skillet and stir-fry for another 2 minutes until slightly tender-crisp.
- Add the drained spaghetti to the skillet. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, and 1 teaspoon sesame oil.
- Pour the sauce over the spaghetti and vegetables, tossing to coat evenly. Add a splash of the reserved pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce.
- Garnish with chopped green onions or sesame seeds before serving immediately and enjoy!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
