Boil 300g spaghetti in water with 2 tsp salt. Once cooked, drain the water, add 1 tbsp oil to the spaghetti, mix well to prevent sticking, and set aside.

In a bowl, combine the chicken pieces with 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp vinegar, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp white pepper, and 1/4 tsp baking soda. Mix well and set aside for marination.

In a separate bowl, mix 2 tbsp soy sauce, 3 tbsp sriracha sauce, 1 tsp balsamic vinegar, 1 tsp sesame/olive oil, 3 tbsp sugar, and 1 tsp salt. Set the sauce aside.

Thinly slice 2 carrots and 1 1/2 bell peppers.

Heat 2-3 tbsp oil in a pan and fry the marinated chicken until fully cooked. Remove the chicken and set aside.

In the same pan, add a little more oil if needed. Sauté the sliced carrots and bell peppers with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook lightly to retain their vibrant color and crunch. Set aside.

In a large pan, heat 2 tbsp oil and add 1 tsp crushed garlic. Sauté until fragrant.

Add 3 tbsp thinly sliced green onions and sauté briefly.

Add the boiled spaghetti to the pan and stir well.

Add the cooked chicken, prepared sauce, and sautéed vegetables to the noodles. Mix everything thoroughly and cook for a few more minutes to combine the flavors.
