Prepare a 2 serving portion of the dish.

Slice 1/3-1/2 onion and set aside.

Shred 1/3-1/2 cup of carrots and set aside.

Mince 1 garlic clove and set aside.

Chop 1 cup of Napa cabbage (or substitute) and set aside.

To convert spaghetti into noodles, bring a pot of water to a boil and add 2 tsp-1 tbsp of baking soda per quart of water; season with salt if desired.

Cook spaghetti according to package instructions until done, keeping an eye on it as the baking soda can cause it to foam and overflow.

Once cooked, strain the spaghetti and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process.

In a large skillet, brown the ground beef until well browned and fat is rendered, about 5-7 minutes.

Add the sliced onion, shredded carrots, and minced garlic to the skillet; stir-fry until vegetables are tender, about 3-4 minutes.

Add the chopped Napa cabbage to the skillet and stir-fry until tender, about 2-3 minutes.

In a bowl, mix together 1 tbsp oyster sauce, 1 tbsp hoisin sauce, 1/2 tsp Malaysian caramel dark soy sauce, 1 tsp Japanese rice vinegar, and a few drops of sesame oil.

Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet along with the stir-fry sauce; mix well until everything is combined and heated through, about 2-3 minutes.

Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions before serving.
