Ingredients

• 8 ounces spaghetti or Asian noodles

• 2 tablespoons sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic
• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
• 1/4 cup sesame seeds
• 4 green onions, thinly sliced
• Salt, to taste
• Black pepper, to taste

How to Make Sesame Noodles

1. Cook the noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, honey, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes (if using) until well combined.
3. Add the cooked noodles to the bowl with the sauce and toss until the noodles are evenly coated.
4. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. If the noodles seem dry, add a little more sesame oil or soy sauce.
5. Transfer the noodles to a serving dish and sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Serve immediately.

Tips for the Best Results

• Be sure to rinse the noodles after cooking to prevent them from becoming sticky.
• Adjust the level of sweetness by adding more or less honey to suit your taste.
• For added texture, toast the sesame seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden brown before sprinkling them on your noodles.

Easy Variations

• Add cooked chicken, shrimp, or tofu for extra protein.
• Toss in some steamed broccoli, bell peppers, or snap peas for added nutrition.
• Substitute the spaghetti with zucchini noodles for a low-carb option.
• Experiment with different types of vinegar like apple cider vinegar for a unique twist.

What to Serve With It

• Grilled chicken or tofu for a heartier meal
• Stir-fried vegetables for a colorful side
• Egg rolls or spring rolls for a delicious appetizer
• A simple green salad with sesame dressing
