Oyster sauce

Brown sugar or Honey

Onion – I like to use brown onion.

Ginger

Garlic

Black pepper – To add a spicy kick. This can be substituted for chilli pepper.

Mixed peppers- I use red, green and yellow bell peppers.

Sesame oil

Helpful Tips

Get all the ingredients ready and measured out before starting to cook.
Don’t overcook the pasta. It’s best boiled till aldente (Soft but firm).
Add any quick cooking vegetable if you have leftovers in the fridge.
This can be cooked with chicken, fish or shrimp. Season and pan fry before adding at step 5.
It’s best served while hot.

How To Cook Soy Sauce Pasta

Make the sauce – In a bowl, add soy sauce, oyster sauce, brown sugar, ginger, black pepper, Sesame oil, black pepper, and cornflour. Mix untill combined. Set aside.

Cook the pasta- Add boiling water to a pot, add salt and penne pasta. Stir and boil the pasta till it is tender but firm. Drain the pasta.

Cook the pasta sauce- While cooking the pasta, cook the sauce – Place a pot on medium heat. Add olive oil and chopped onions. Saute the onions till they are soft (this takes about 2 minutes).

Add the garlic and mixed peppers, then stir fry till they are tender.

Pour the soy sauce mixture and cook for 1-2 minutes till the sauce is slightly thickened.

Add the boiled pasta, and spring onions then stir till all are well combined.

Take off heat and serve immediately.

Storing and Reheating Leftovers

Soy sauce penne pasta is best eaten fresh but if you have leftovers, it can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. I don’t recommend freezing it.
To reheat, add to a pan, sprinkle with water and cook on low heat till it’s heated through or simply microwave it on high heat till it’s warmed.
