Ingredients

8 oz. noodles (spaghetti or rice noodles work well)

3 tablespoons sesame oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup

1 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)

1/4 cup sesame seeds, toasted

2 green onions, sliced

Instructions

Cook the Noodles:

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Prepare the Garlic Sauce:

In a large skillet, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 2 minutes, until fragrant and lightly golden.

Mix Noodles and Sauce:

Add the cooked noodles to the skillet, tossing them gently to coat in the garlic sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through.

Add Final Touches:

Remove from heat and stir in the toasted sesame seeds, sliced green onions, and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Serve:

Plate the garlic sesame noodles and garnish with additional sesame seeds and fresh cilantro if desired. Enjoy!
