Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams spaghetti or your choice of noodles
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon honey (or maple syrup for vegan option)
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, finely grated
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
- 2 stalks green onions, sliced
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons water (reserved from cooked noodles)
Instructions
Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil. Add the noodles and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the cooking water, then drain the noodles and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, honey (or maple syrup), rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes (if using) to form the sauce.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Pour the sauce into the pan and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, stirring frequently.
Add the cooked noodles to the skillet along with the reserved noodle water. Toss well to coat the noodles evenly with the sauce.
Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring gently to ensure the noodles are fully coated and heated through.
Remove from heat and transfer the noodles to a serving dish. Garnish with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Simple Sesame Soy Sauce Noodles!
