Makes 4 servings

3 ounces spaghettini
Four 4-ounce chicken legs, skinned
2 teaspoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder*
1/2 teaspoon firmly packed light or dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon oriental sesame oil
1 medium red bell pepper, seeded and julienned
1 medium zucchini, julienned
1 tablespoon finely chopped pared fresh ginger root
2 garlic cloves, minced
8 medium scallions, thinly sliced
1/2 cup shredded Savoy cabbage

In large nonstick skillet, heat oil; add bell pepper, zucchini, ginger, garlic and
remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt; cook over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, 5
minutes, until vegetables are softened. Stir in scallions and cabbage; cook,
stirring constantly, 4 minutes, until cabbage is wilted.
Add cooked spaghettini to vegetable mixture; cook, tossing cons- tantly, 3-4
minutes, until heated through. Transfer spaghettini mixture to serving platter;
