Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 g dried spaghetti or Asian egg noodles
- 2 tbsp sesame oil
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 1 tsp minced fresh ginger
- 4 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 0.5 tsp crushed red chili flakes
- 2 stalks green onions, thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
- 1 tbsp vegetable or canola oil
- 1 cup optional vegetables (e.g., grated carrots, sliced bell pepper, or snap peas)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the spaghetti or noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain well and set aside.
While the noodles are cooking, heat the vegetable or canola oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and ginger to the skillet, and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Be careful not to burn them.
If using optional vegetables, add them to the skillet and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the sesame oil, soy sauce, honey or maple syrup, rice vinegar, and crushed red chili flakes. Mix well to combine the sauce.
Add the cooked noodles to the skillet or wok and toss them thoroughly in the sauce to coat evenly.
Remove the skillet from heat and top the noodles with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds.
Serve immediately, either warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
