Ingredients

• 8 oz spaghetti or noodles of choice

• 2 tablespoons sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
• 3 green onions, chopped (plus extra for garnish)
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
• Salt and pepper, to taste

How to Make Sesame Noodles

1. Cook the noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Whisk until well combined.
3. Add the cooked noodles to the bowl and toss gently to coat the noodles evenly in the sauce.
4. Stir in the chopped green onions and season with salt and pepper to taste. Toss again to mix everything together.
5. If desired, sprinkle with sesame seeds for added texture and flavor. Serve immediately, garnished with extra green onions.

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure to rinse the noodles after cooking to prevent them from sticking together.
• Adjust the sauce ingredients to your taste; feel free to add more soy sauce for saltiness or more honey for sweetness.
• If you prefer a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of sriracha to the sauce.

Easy Variations

• For added protein, toss in cooked chicken, shrimp, or tofu.
• Mix in some steamed broccoli, bell peppers, or snap peas for extra nutrients and color.
• Swap out the spaghetti for soba noodles or rice noodles for a different texture.

What to Serve With It

• A side of steamed edamame makes a great appetizer.
• Pair with a simple cucumber salad dressed in rice vinegar for a refreshing contrast.
• Serve alongside grilled chicken or fish for a complete meal.
