Delicious Sesame Noodles Recipe for a Quick Meal

Ingredients

Servings:
8
  • 8 oz spaghetti or noodles (preferably whole wheat)
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce (low sodium recommended)
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup (for sweetness)
  • 1 clove garlic (minced)
  • 1 tsp ginger (grated)
  • 2 tbsp sesame seeds (toasted)
  • 2 green onions sliced (for garnish)
  • 1 cup mixed vegetables (like bell peppers and carrots, optional)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Cook the Noodles

    Boil water in a large pot and cook the spaghetti or noodles according to package instructions until al dente.

    Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare the Sauce

    In a bowl, whisk together sesame oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, garlic, and ginger until well combined.

    Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
  3. Combine Noodles and Sauce

    Drain the cooked noodles and rinse under cold water. Toss the noodles in the sauce until evenly coated.

    This helps to cool the noodles and keep them from clumping.
  4. Add Vegetables

    If using, add the mixed vegetables to the noodles and toss gently to combine.

    You can also add cooked chicken or tofu for extra protein.
  5. Garnish and Serve

    Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions over the top before serving.

    Serve chilled or at room temperature for the best flavor.
