Ingredients

• 8 oz spaghetti or rice noodles
• 3 tbsp sesame oil
• 3 tbsp soy sauce
• 2 tbsp hoisin sauce
• 1.5 tbsp rice vinegar
• 2 tbsp peanut butter
• 1.5 tbsp honey or maple syrup
• 1 tbsp Sriracha or chili garlic sauce
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
• 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
• 2 stalks scallions, thinly sliced
• 1 cup shredded carrots
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
• 4 pieces lime wedges (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Cook the spaghetti or rice noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain and rinse with cold water to prevent them from sticking. Set aside.

Step 2

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together sesame oil, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), Sriracha, minced garlic, and grated ginger until smooth and well combined.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the shredded carrots and sauté for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.

Step 4

Add the cooked noodles to the skillet and pour the sauce over the top. Toss well using tongs or a spatula to ensure the noodles are evenly coated with the sauce.

Step 5

Cook for another 2-3 minutes over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the noodles are heated through and slightly caramelized.

Step 6

Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle toasted sesame seeds, sliced scallions, and chopped cilantro (if using) over the noodles.

Step 7

Serve warm or at room temperature with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of freshness.
