Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams dry noodles (e.g., wheat, ramen, or rice noodles)
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)
- 1.5 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)
- 2 stalks green onions, sliced
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
- 2 liters water (for boiling the noodles)
- 1 teaspoon salt (for boiling the noodles)
Instructions
Bring 2 liters of water to a boil in a large pot. Add 1 teaspoon of salt and the dry noodles. Cook according to the package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
While the noodles are cooking, prepare the sesame soy sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together sesame oil, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, minced ginger, and red chili flakes (if using). Set aside.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Once hot, add the cooked noodles and pour the sauce over them. Toss the noodles gently with tongs to ensure they are evenly coated.
Cook the noodles in the sauce for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Transfer the noodles to serving bowls. Garnish with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds.
Serve warm and enjoy your Noodles in Sesame Soy Sauce!
