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.

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.
