Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz spaghetti noodles (or Asian-style noodles)
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp sesame oil
- 2 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp honey (or maple syrup)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp ginger, grated
- 0.5 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 stalks scallions, chopped
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds

Instructions
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the spaghetti noodles (or Asian-style noodles) according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes (if using). This will be your sesame sauce.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the vegetable oil and sauté the cooked noodles for 2-3 minutes to warm them evenly.
Pour the sesame sauce over the noodles and toss well until the noodles are coated evenly with the sauce.
Garnish the noodles with chopped scallions and sesame seeds.
Serve immediately as a main dish or as a side dish to complement other Asian-inspired dishes.
