Directions
Bring a pot of water to a boil, and cook the spaghetti for about 12 minutes or desired consistency. Drain and toss with ½ tablespoon sesame oil. Set aside.
Meanwhile in a large nonstick skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot.
Add the garlic, ginger and scallions, stirring frequently, and cook for about 1 minute until very fragrant. Stir in the mushrooms, and cook until mushrooms are browned, about 4 minutes.
Add the bell peppers and carrots, and cook for about 3 minutes, until veggies become tender but still crispy. Stir in the bok choy, and cook for another 2 minutes or so until the leaves are all wilted.
Whisk together all the sauce ingredients in a bowl until well combined. Set aside. Add the spaghetti into the pan, and pour the sauce over. Toss until well mixed, and cook for another 2 minutes, until heated through.
Divide among serving plates, sprinkle with toasted peanuts and fresh cilantro leaves. Serve warm.
