What ingredients do I need for these noodles?
- pasta – linquine (pictured) or spaghetti works great
- soy sauce – low sodium
- sesame oil
- rice vinegar – sub white wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar if needed
- ground ginger

- hot sauce – like sirichia or tabasco
- honey

First get your pasta cooked. Drain but don’t rinse!
While your pasta is cooking whisk up your easy dressing.
Toast up your sesame seeds if they are not pre-toasted. They are so much better when you toast them yourself!
How to easily toast sesame seeds –
- Heat a dry pan on medium heat. Toss in your seeds and don’t walk away. This doesn’t take long. Keep stirring.
- Remove from the pan once they reach thier desired doneness. Remove from pan so they do not continue to cook.
Pour your hot drained noodles into a large bowl and toss with the dressing!
You are almost done!
Top with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
Serve them hot or chill them and serve cold – it’s the perfect dish!
Add some cooked protein to those noodles for a full meal!
