Ingredients
- 300 grams spaghetti or thin noodles
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon sriracha or chili paste

- 1 cup sliced almonds
- 2 stalks green onions (thinly sliced)
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 liters water (for boiling noodles)
Instructions
Bring 2 liters of water to a boil in a large pot and add 1 teaspoon of salt.
Cook the spaghetti or thin noodles according to the package instructions, usually 8-10 minutes, until al dente. Drain and rinse with cold water. Set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sriracha. Set the sauce aside.
In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the sliced almonds for 2-3 minutes until they are golden and fragrant. Be careful not to burn them. Remove from heat and set aside.
In the same skillet, add 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil and lightly sauté the sesame seeds for 1 minute to enhance their flavor. Remove from heat.
Transfer the cooked noodles to a large mixing bowl. Pour the sauce over the noodles and toss to coat evenly.
Add the toasted almonds and sesame seeds to the noodles and mix well.
Garnish with sliced green onions and serve immediately. For additional flavor, you can sprinkle a bit more sesame oil or sriracha on top.
