Ingredients

• 8 ounces spaghetti noodles (or Asian-style wheat noodles)
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 2 stalks green onions, thinly sliced
• 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
• 1 medium carrot, julienned
• 0.5 medium cucumber, julienned (optional)
• 2 tablespoons cilantro leaves (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti or wheat noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain, rinse with cold water, and set aside.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, honey, grated ginger, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes to make the sauce. Set aside.

Step 3

Heat a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the sauce to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes to gently warm and combine the flavors.

Step 4

Add the cooked noodles to the skillet and toss with the sauce until evenly coated. Cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing the noodles to absorb the sauce.

Step 5

Remove the skillet from heat and mix in the julienned carrot and cucumber, if using. Toss to combine.

Step 6

Transfer the noodles to a serving bowl or plates. Garnish with sliced green onions, toasted sesame seeds, and fresh cilantro leaves, if desired.

Step 7

Serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled. Enjoy your Easy Sesame Ginger Noodles!
