- 1 1/2 cups broccoli, stalk thinly sliced, florets about 1/2″, stalks and florets kept separate
- 2 to 3 thinly sliced or matchstick carrots (about a cup)
- 6 ounces spaghetti, cooked just short of al dente (it will cook more in the sauce) and drained

- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce (sub in another tablespoon of soy if you don’t have dark soy)

- pinch of sugar, optional
Instructions
Drizzle a large skillet with oil. Over medium-high heat, add the broccoli stems and carrots, cook for about 2 minutes. Add the bell peppers and broccoli florets and cook for three to four minutes; they should still be a little crunchy. Make a space in the center and add shrimp, cook two minutes or so, then flip shrimp over.
Add the sauce and bring to a simmer, cooking until the sauce has slightly reduced and shrimp is just cooked through. Remove skillet from heat and add noodles, tossing and turning over to incorporate the shrimp and vegetables and coat the noodles with the sauce.
Serve immediately, garnished with green onion or cilantro.
Note: If the stove isn’t hot enough while stir-frying vegetables, add lid for a minute or two.
