Spicy Sesame Noodles Recipe - Easy Asian Main Course

Ingredients

Servings:
6
  • 8 oz spaghetti or noodles (preferably whole grain)
  • 2 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce (use low sodium if preferred)
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp sriracha sauce (adjust to taste for spiciness)
  • 1 tbsp honey (or maple syrup for vegan option)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds (for garnish)
  • 2 scallions sliced (for garnish)
  • 1 cup cooked chicken or tofu (for protein boost)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Cook the Noodles

    In a large pot, bring water to a boil and cook the noodles according to package instructions.

    Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare the Sauce

    In a bowl, whisk together sesame oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sriracha, honey, and minced garlic.

    Adjust the amount of sriracha based on your spice preference.
  3. Combine Noodles and Sauce

    Drain the cooked noodles and return them to the pot. Pour the sauce over the noodles and toss to combine evenly.

    Make sure every noodle is coated with sauce.
  4. Add Protein (Optional)

    If using chicken or tofu, mix it in with the noodles until heated through.

    This step can be skipped for a vegetarian option.
  5. Garnish and Serve

    Plate the noodles and garnish with sesame seeds and sliced scallions before serving.

    Serve warm for best flavor.
