Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1Boil the water
    A pot of water heating on a stove burner.

    Place a pot of water on the stove to boil. Add a spoonful of pink salt and a little olive oil into the water to prepare for cooking the spaghetti.

    Tip: Adding a little salt and oil to the boiling water seasons the pasta and prevents it from sticking.
  2. 2Boil the spaghetti
    Spaghetti cooking in a pot of boiling water being stirred with chopsticks.

    Put the spaghetti into the boiling water and stir gently with chopsticks to make sure the noodles submerge evenly. Boil according to the package instructions for about 8 to 10 minutes.

    Tip: Stir the spaghetti right after putting it in the water to prevent the noodles from clumping together.
  3. 3Slice the carrot
    Hands using a knife to slice a red carrot into small pieces on a dark wooden cutting board.

    Begin your vegetable preparation by peeling and slicing a small carrot into thin, bite-sized pieces. Cutting them evenly ensures they will cook quickly and consistently when stir-fried later with the other ingredients.

    Tip: Cut the carrot into thin diagonal slices to create a more visually appealing presentation for your finished pasta dish.
  4. 4Slice the shiitake mushrooms
    Hands carefully slicing fresh brown shiitake mushrooms on a wooden cutting board.

    Take four or five washed fresh shiitake mushrooms and slice them evenly. The mushrooms will add a wonderful earthy flavor and a hearty, meaty texture that perfectly complements the rich black truffle sauce.

    Tip: Make sure the mushrooms are well-drained after washing so they sear nicely in the pan rather than steaming in excess moisture.
  5. 5Cut the broccoli
    A hand holding a fresh green broccoli floret on a wooden cutting board, preparing to cut it with a knife.

    Take about a quarter of a head of fresh broccoli and cut it into small, bite-sized florets. Keeping the florets small helps them cook quickly and allows them to absorb more of the savory truffle seasonings.

    Tip: You can save the broccoli stems by peeling the tough outer skin and slicing the tender core to stir-fry along with the florets.
  6. 6Oil the cooked spaghetti
    Golden olive oil being poured over a mound of cooked spaghetti noodles inside a stainless steel mixing bowl.

    Once the spaghetti has boiled for 8 to 10 minutes and is fully cooked, drain it and transfer it to a large mixing bowl. Pour in a drizzle of olive oil and toss the pasta evenly. This prevents the noodles from sticking together while you finish preparing the vegetables.

    Tip: Tossing the hot pasta in olive oil not only prevents clumping but also lightly coats the noodles, helping them separate nicely during the final stir-fry.
  7. 7Stir-fry the vegetables
    Freshly sliced vegetables being poured from a bowl into a hot oiled wok.

    Heat up oil in a wok and directly add all the prepared sliced vegetables into the hot pan. Stir-fry on high heat for about 1 minute until their surfaces become glossy.

    Tip: Ensure the pan and oil are hot before adding the vegetables to achieve a good sear quickly on high heat.
  8. 8Season the vegetables
    Salt being sprinkled from a spoon onto stir-frying vegetables in a pan.

    Add a small spoonful of salt and some freshly ground black pepper powder into the vegetables while stir-frying them in the pan.

    Tip: Seasoning the vegetables early helps them absorb the flavors while maintaining their vibrant texture.
  9. 9Add black truffle sauce
    A spoonful of black truffle sauce being added to a pan of mixed vegetables.

    Add a spoonful of pure vegetarian black truffle sauce directly into the pan with the vegetables and continue to stir-fry evenly on high heat.

    Tip: Incorporate the truffle sauce thoroughly with the seasonings so the rich aroma coats all the vegetables.
  10. 10Combine spaghetti and vegetables
    Cooked spaghetti being added from a bowl into the pan with stir-fried vegetables.

    Add the previously cooked spaghetti into the pan containing the stir-fried vegetables, along with a little light soy sauce and vegetarian oyster sauce.

    Tip: Toss the noodles well with the vegetable mixture and sauces to evenly distribute the flavors before finishing.
  11. 11Season the noodles and vegetables
    Dark soy sauce being poured from a bottle onto spaghetti and mixed vegetables inside a grey cooking pan.

    Add a little light soy sauce and vegetarian oyster sauce into the pan over the cooked spaghetti and stir-fried vegetables to enhance the flavor and freshnesscite: 1. Continue to toss and stir-fry the ingredients evenly until fully aromaticcite: 1.

    Tip: Add the sauces around the edges of the pan if possible to let them caramelize slightly for extra depth.
  12. 12Add final touch of black truffle sauce
    Stir-fried spaghetti with broccoli, mushrooms, and red bell peppers in a wok right before plating.

    Before taking the dish out of the pan, add another spoonful of pure vegetarian black truffle saucecite: 1. If you prefer a stronger kick, add some more black peppercite: 1.

    Tip: Adding a bit of truffle sauce right at the end preserves its delicate aroma and prevents it from cooking away.
