• Spaghetti - 160 grams
• Chicken breast (halal) - 200 grams, diced
• Miso paste - 2 tablespoons
• Soy sauce - 1 tablespoon
• Mirin - 1 tablespoon
• Sesame oil - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced

Steps

1. Bring 2 liters of water to a boil in a large pot. Add salt and cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

3. Add the diced chicken to the skillet, season with salt and black pepper, and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
