• 3 cloves minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
• 1 teaspoon brown sugar or maple syrup
• 8 ounces whole wheat or rice noodles (for a gluten-free option)
• 2 stalks scallions, thinly sliced
• 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
• 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for garnish)
• 2 cups steamed or stir-fried vegetables (e.g., broccoli, bell peppers, carrots, snap peas)

Directions

Step 1

Cook the noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.

Heat a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the cooked noodles and sauce to the skillet, tossing gently to coat the noodles evenly.
