Ingredients

• 8 oz spaghetti or lo mein noodles
• 2 tbsp sesame oil
• 3 tbsp soy sauce
• 2 tbsp rice vinegar
• 1 tbsp honey
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp ginger, grated
• 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
• 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 2 carrots, julienned
• 1 cup snap peas
• 3 green onions, thinly sliced
• 2 tbsp cilantro, chopped
• 0.5 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Cook the noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the sesame oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using). Set the sauce aside.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add a splash of sesame oil (optional) and toss in the red bell pepper, carrots, and snap peas. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Step 4

Lower the heat to medium and add the cooked noodles to the skillet. Pour the prepared sesame sauce over the noodles and vegetables. Toss well to combine and ensure the sauce coats everything evenly.

Step 5

Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds, green onions, and chopped cilantro over the dish. Toss gently to incorporate.

Step 6

Remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish. Serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled as desired.
