Ingredients

• 300 grams spaghetti or rice noodles
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar

• 1 cucumber, julienned
• 1 tablespoon black sesame seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Directions

Step 1

Cook the spaghetti or rice noodles according to package instructions. Once cooked, drain the noodles and rinse them under cold water to cool them down. Set aside.

Step 2

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, honey, rice vinegar, grated ginger, and minced garlic until well combined. This will be your dressing.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine the cooked and cooled noodles with the chopped green onions, julienned carrot, and julienned cucumber.

Step 4

Pour the dressing over the noodle and vegetable mixture and toss everything together thoroughly to ensure the noodles are well coated with the dressing.

Step 5

Transfer the dressed noodles to a serving platter or individual serving bowls.

Step 6

Sprinkle black sesame seeds and red pepper flakes evenly over the top of the noodles.

Step 7

Chill the noodles in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes if a cold dish is preferred, or serve immediately for a room temperature option.

Step 8

Garnish with extra green onions or sesame seeds before serving, if desired.
