Instructions
- Begin by cooking the spaghetti according to the package instructions in salted boiling water until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving a little pasta water.
- In a large wok, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the minced garlic and red chili flakes, sautéing for about 30 seconds until fragrant and golden, being careful not to burn the garlic.
- Add the mixed seafood to the wok. Stir-fry for 3-5 minutes or until the seafood is opaque and cooked through, stirring frequently for even cooking.
- Add the cooked spaghetti to the wok, tossing gently to combine with the seafood. If the mixture seems dry, add a splash of reserved pasta water.
- Pour in the soy sauce and oyster sauce, continuing to stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes until the noodles are well coated and heated through. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
- Remove from heat and garnish with chopped spring onions. Serve hot for the best flavor.
Tips
- For added crunch, consider tossing in some vegetables like bell peppers, snap peas, or bok choy during the stir-frying process.
- Feel free to customize the seafood selection based on your preference or availability; fresh seafood works best!
- If you prefer a vegetarian version, substitute the seafood with tofu or a medley of your favorite vegetables.
