1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce, plus more if needed
2 tablespoons sherry or low-sodium vegetable broth
2 tablespoons packed brown sugar

One 15-ounce can baby corn, drained, corn halved crosswise

Steps:

  • For the noodles: Bring a pot of water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti in the boiling water according to the package instructions. Drain, then drizzle with some sesame oil and a little soy sauce in a large bowl and toss.
