Put the pan or wok in the fire, once is smoking hot add the ginger and the peanuts in it, soon after add the oil enough for cover with a thin layer (but be sure of reserve 1 spoon of sesame oil for the pasta).
When the oil start to sizzle and the ginger and peanuts are giving their aroma, add the onions, garlics and spices, mix often and energically always keeping the fire in high.
In another pot put your spaghetti to cook "al dente" never overcook your pasta, is nasty and add to the calories you actually digest.

Add the softer veggies, and keep mixing for 5 minutes in high fire, adjust the spicing if needed. Turn off the fire, your veggies should be creunchy and its colours bright.
It should taste slightly salty if you cooked your pasta without salt, or just right if your pasta is flavourful
Drain the pasta and mix the sesame oil for avoid stickyness and add flair.
Mix the pasta and the styr fry and you are done, who needs take out anyway
