Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Noodles
  • 8 oz noodles (spaghetti or udon) or whole grain or zucchini for a healthier option
Aromatic Sauce
  • 3 tablespoons sesame oil for that nutty flavor
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced because who can resist?
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari for gluten-free
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar a tangy twist
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup optional, for sweetness
Garnishes
  • Chopped green onions for garnish
  • Sesame seeds a perfect finishing touch

Method
 

Cooking Noodles
  1. In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Preparing Sauce
  1. In a large skillet, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant and golden, about 1-2 minutes.
  2. Stir in the soy sauce, rice vinegar, and honey (if using) into the skillet with the garlic. Allow it to bubble gently for a minute.
Combining & Serving
  1. Add the drained noodles to the skillet. Toss well to coat them in the aromatic sauce, ensuring each noodle is enveloped in flavor.
  2. Transfer the Garlic Sesame Noodles onto a serving dish, sprinkle with chopped green onions and sesame seeds for added flair.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat in a skillet over low heat, adding a splash of water or oil to prevent sticking. Toast sesame seeds before use for enhanced flavor.
