Ingredients

2 teaspoons cornstarch
1/2 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
2 teaspoons oyster sauce
1/4 teaspoon curry powder
Dash hot pepper sauce
2 ounces uncooked multigrain or whole wheat spaghetti
1/3 pound pork tenderloin, cut into thin strips
1-1/2 teaspoons canola oil, divided
1 small green pepper, julienned
1 small sweet red pepper, julienned
1 small sweet yellow pepper, julienned
2 tablespoons chopped leek (white portion only)
1 garlic clove, minced

In a small bowl, combine cornstarch and broth until smooth. Stir in the oyster sauce, curry powder and hot pepper sauce; set aside. Cook spaghetti according to package directions.
Meanwhile, in a large nonstick skillet or wok coated with cooking spray, stir-fry pork in 1 teaspoon oil until no longer pink; remove and keep warm. Stir-fry the peppers, leek and garlic in remaining oil for 3-4 minutes or just until crisp-tender.
Stir reserved broth mixture and stir into vegetable mixture. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until thickened. Drain spaghetti; add to the pan. Add pork and 1 tablespoon cilantro; toss to combine and heat through. Sprinkle with remaining cilantro. Yield: 2 servings.
