•
3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
•
2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
•
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
•
2 tablespoons water
•
1 tablespoon dry sherry
•
2 teaspoons sesame oil
•
2 teaspoons cornstarch
•
1 teaspoon brown sugar
•
1 tablespoon olive oil
•
1 red bell pepper, cored and sliced vertically
•
1 sweet onion, peeled and sliced vertically

2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger root
•
1 teaspoon minced garlic

Directions
1
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes.
2
Meanwhile, cook ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat until browned and crumbly, but still a little chunky, about 5 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.
3
Whisk hoisin sauce, soy sauce, oyster sauce, water, sherry, sesame oil, cornstarch, and brown sugar together in a small bowl.
4
Heat olive oil in the same skillet over medium-high heat. Add red bell pepper, onion, snow peas, celery, ginger, garlic, and red pepper flakes. Stir-fry until vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Return ground beef to the skillet and mix well.
5
Drain spaghetti and add to the skillet with sauce. Cook and stir until mixture is well combined and sauce has slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Serve immediately and garnish with sliced green onions.
