- 4 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
- 1 teaspoon chili garlic sauce (optional for spice)

Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti or noodles and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the noodles are cooking, prepare the sesame sauce. In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, hoisin sauce, peanut butter, brown sugar, minced garlic, minced ginger, and chili garlic sauce (if using). Add 2 tablespoons of water to thin the sauce, and whisk until smooth.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the cooked noodles to the skillet, followed by the sesame sauce. Toss the noodles in the sauce for 2-3 minutes until evenly coated and heated through.
Transfer the noodles to a serving dish. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onions for garnish.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
