Spaghetti with meat and vegetables are a typical Chinese recipe that can be found in many regions, each with its unique ingredients, cooking methods, and timing. Chef Mulan shares with us her version, which includes pork loin, zucchini, carrots, and onions, but you can substitute with other meats or vegetables of your preference, as long as you slice them into thin strips and stir-fry them in a wok over high heat.
