You can use whole wheat spaghetti or any other long whole-grain noodles, instead of the traditional chow mein or lo mein noodles, which are made with processed wheat flour and egg.

If you also think it needs just a little more taste, you can try adding a couple of dashes of Chinese five-spice, a little more ginger, more soy sauce, or a dash of cayenne pepper to add a little more flavor to your bowl.

Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces dry whole grain spaghetti
  • 3 tbsp arrowroot powder
  • ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce or tamari
  • 2 tbsp brown rice vinegar
  • tbsp grated fresh ginger
  • 9 small garlic cloves minced (about 1½ tablespoons)
  • 7-8 scallions, white and green parts, thinly sliced diagonally into 1-inch-long strips (about 2 cups)
  • 8 ounces button mushrooms, trimmed and sliced (about 3 cups)
  • 1 large carrot, thinly sliced (about 1 cup)
  • cups broccoli florets in ½-inch pieces (about 5 ounces)
  • 2 baby bok choy, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces (about 3 cups)
  • 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh cilantro
  • 2 tbsp cashews, toasted and chopped (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook the noodles according to the package instructions. Drain, rinse with cold water if necessary, and drain again.
  • Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, mix the arrowroot powder, soy sauce, vinegar, and 1½ cups water until smooth. Set the slurry aside.
  • In a large sauté pan, place the ginger, garlic, scallions, mushrooms, carrots, and ¼ cup water. Cover and cook over medium heat until the vegetables are halfway cooked, about5 minutes.
  • Add the broccoli and bok choy to the vegetables. Stir the reserved slurry and add it to the pan. Cover and cook until all the vegetables are crisp-tender and the sauce is slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the noodles to the vegetables; toss until well combined. Heat over medium-low if necessary to warm all the ingredients and add a little water to loosen the sauce, if necessary. Garnish with cilantro and cashews (if using) and serve hot.
