Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams spaghetti or noodles of choice
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 200 grams cremini or button mushrooms
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons tahini
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 0.5 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
- 3 tablespoons water
Instructions
Cook the spaghetti or noodles according to the package instructions. Drain, rinse with cold water, and set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.
Add the mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they soften and release their moisture. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, tahini, rice vinegar, honey (or maple syrup), garlic, ginger, chili flakes (if using), and water to create the sesame sauce.
In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over medium heat.
Add the cooked noodles to the skillet and toss to reheat slightly, about 2 minutes.
Pour the sesame sauce over the noodles and toss until they are evenly coated.
Return the cooked mushrooms to the skillet and mix them with the noodles.
Continue cooking for 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to slightly thicken and the noodles to absorb the flavors.
Serve the sesame noodles in bowls, topped with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds for garnish.
