1         2              3         bunches Green Onions, 
cut into 1 inch pieces

Make spaghetti according to package directions. Drain and run under cold water to stop them from cooking. Set aside.

Combine soy sauce, cornstarch, and garlic in a bowl.

Add chicken and stir to coat. Let stand at least 15 minutes.

Combine sugar, rice vinegar, water, soy sauce, sesame oil, Frank’s, and Hoisin sauce in a bowl.

Heat oil in wok to 375.

Add chilies for ~10 seconds.

Add chicken mixture. Stir fry for 2 minutes.

Add onions and sauce. Cook to thicken ~3-4 minutes.

Add spaghetti and mix well. Remove from heat. (Don’t eat dried chilies.)


Note: we have a big family and never make 1 batch (4 servings) because we love leftovers.  I am always doubling or tripling the recipe that is why I put in the columns in ingredients.  I am always recalculating.  This simplifies for us.  Never do more than 12 servings in a wok, it just is too much stuff to fit.  The Frank's is what really gives it a kick so if too spicy cut down on Frank's Red Hot Sauce.
