Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams spaghetti or rice noodles
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 1 carrot, julienned
- 1 cucumber, julienned
- 1 tablespoon black sesame seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Instructions
Cook the spaghetti or rice noodles according to package instructions. Once cooked, drain the noodles and rinse them under cold water to cool them down. Set aside.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, honey, rice vinegar, grated ginger, and minced garlic until well combined. This will be your dressing.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked and cooled noodles with the chopped green onions, julienned carrot, and julienned cucumber.
Pour the dressing over the noodle and vegetable mixture and toss everything together thoroughly to ensure the noodles are well coated with the dressing.
Transfer the dressed noodles to a serving platter or individual serving bowls.
Sprinkle black sesame seeds and red pepper flakes evenly over the top of the noodles.
Chill the noodles in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes if a cold dish is preferred, or serve immediately for a room temperature option.
Garnish with extra green onions or sesame seeds before serving, if desired.
