- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp honey

Instructions
Bring 8 cups of water to a boil in a large pot and add 1 tsp of salt.
Cook the spaghetti or thin egg noodles according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
While the noodles cook, prepare the snow peas by rinsing them and trimming off their ends. Set them aside.
In a small bowl, mix together the sesame oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes (if using) to make the sauce.
In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tbsp of vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
Add the snow peas to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until they turn bright green but remain crisp.
Reduce heat to medium and add the cooked noodles to the skillet with the snow peas.
Pour the prepared sauce over the noodles and snow peas, tossing to combine and evenly coat everything.
Add the thinly sliced scallions and toss gently to distribute them throughout the dish.
Remove the skillet from the heat. Transfer the sesame noodles with scallions and snow peas to a serving dish or individual bowls.
Sprinkle with sesame seeds as a garnish and serve immediately.
