Ingredients
- 1 pound whole wheat spaghetti or soba noodles
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons canola oil, divided
- 1 bunch of scallions, cut into 3 inch pieces
- 2 handfuls of string beans, cut lengthwise into strips
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into strips
- 1 green bell pepper, cut into strips
- 3 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1/3 to 1/2 cup orange marmalade
- 1/4 cup tamari
- 1 tablespoon chili oil
- 1/4 cup chicken stock (if needed)
- 1 palmful sesame seeds and/or slivered almonds
Preparation
Step 1
1. Place a large pot of salted water over high heat and bring to a boil. Once boiling, add the noodles and cook according to the package directions to al dente.
2. Toast sesame seeds and/or almonds in a skillet over medium-high heat. You can tell they're done when you can smell them!
3. While the noodles are cooking, heat the marmalade, tamari, chili oil and a pinch of freshly ground black pepper in a small saucepot over low heat. Stir to combine.
4. Place a large skillet over medium-high to high heat and add 1 tablespoon canola oil, about once around the pan. Add the veggies to the pan and cook until the veggies are tender, about 3-4 minutes.
5. Drain the noodles and add them to the skillet with the veggies. Pour the tamari/marmalade mixture into the skillet and give it a good toss to make sure everything's nice and coated with the sauce. If you need more moisture to coat the noodles, add a little chicken stock. Plate the noodles onto dishes and garnish with toasted sesame seeds and/or almonds.
