DIRECTIONS

For the salad:

  • Bring a pot of water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti to al dente according to the package directions. Drain, rinse and let cool.
  • Mix the cooked spaghetti, carrots, peppers, bean sprouts, cucumbers, scallions, cilantro, napa cabbage, purple cabbage, and kale. Add the peanuts and toss together.

For the dressing: 

  • Whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, oyster sauce, rice wine vinegar, brown sugar, ginger, sesame oil and garlic in a medium bowl.
  • Pour the dressing over the salad and mix with tongs. If the salad seems a little dry, just mix up a little more of the wet ingredients of the dressing and add to salad.
