Ingredients
  • 114 g dry spaghetti noodles

  • 170 g canned tuna in water

  • 250 g green cabbage

  • 1 medium carrot

  • 2 cloves garlic

  • 15 g fresh ginger

  • 30 ml soy sauce

  • 1 whole lime

  • 12 g brown sugar

  • 1/2 tsp chili flakes

Instructions
  • 1

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Measure 114 g of dry spaghetti noodles by forming a tight circle with your thumb and index finger twice (each circle holds one 57 g portion) and drop them into the boiling water. Cook until al dente, about 9 minutes.

  • 2

    While the noodles cook, drain 170 g of canned tuna and flake it with a fork. Set aside.

  • 3

    Wash 250 g of green cabbage and slice it into thin shreds. Peel 1 medium carrot and grate it using a box grater. Peel and mince 2 cloves of garlic, and grate 15 g of fresh ginger.

  • 4

    In a small bowl, whisk together 30 ml of soy sauce, 12 g of brown sugar, the juice of 1 lime, and 1/2 tsp of chili flakes until the sugar is fully dissolved.

  • 5

    Drain the cooked spaghetti, reserving 60 ml of the hot pasta water, and set both aside.

  • 6

    Heat 15 ml of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing for 30 seconds until fragrant.

  • 7

    Add the shredded cabbage and grated carrot to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3 to 4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

  • 8

    Reduce the heat to medium. Add the cooked spaghetti, flaked tuna, and the prepared soy-lime sauce to the skillet. Toss everything together for 2 minutes until heated through, adding a splash of the reserved pasta water if the noodles seem dry. Serve immediately.
