Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces spaghetti noodles (or Asian-style wheat noodles)
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 stalks green onions, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
- 1 medium carrot, julienned
- 0.5 medium cucumber, julienned (optional)
- 2 tablespoons cilantro leaves (optional)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti or wheat noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain, rinse with cold water, and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, honey, grated ginger, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes to make the sauce. Set aside.
Heat a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the sauce to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes to gently warm and combine the flavors.
Add the cooked noodles to the skillet and toss with the sauce until evenly coated. Cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing the noodles to absorb the sauce.
Remove the skillet from heat and mix in the julienned carrot and cucumber, if using. Toss to combine.
Transfer the noodles to a serving bowl or plates. Garnish with sliced green onions, toasted sesame seeds, and fresh cilantro leaves, if desired.
Serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled. Enjoy your Easy Sesame Ginger Noodles!
