How dinner comes together
Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Slice the chicken into thin bite-size strips; grate the garlic and ginger and slice the scallions.
Whisk the soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, vinegar, cornstarch and 1/3 cup water until smooth.
Cook the spaghetti until al dente. Add the snap peas for the final 2 minutes, then reserve 1/2 cup cooking water and drain.
Meanwhile, heat the neutral oil in the skillet over medium-high. Cook the chicken in one layer, turning once, until browned and the thickest pieces reach 165°F, 5–7 minutes.
Add the garlic, ginger and scallion whites for 30 seconds. Pour in the sauce and bubble until glossy and slightly thickened, 1–2 minutes.
Add the noodles and snap peas and toss until evenly coated, loosening with reserved cooking water if needed. Finish with the scallion greens.
