Ingredients
- 250 grams spaghetti (or Chinese noodles)
- 300 grams broccoli florets
- 4 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 2 teaspoons honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 2 scallions, sliced
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Cook the spaghetti (or Chinese noodles) according to the package instructions. Reserve 1/4 cup of the pasta water, then drain and set aside.
Step 2
While the noodles are cooking, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the broccoli florets and sauté for 5-7 minutes until they are tender but still crisp. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, honey (or maple syrup), garlic, ginger, peanut butter, and water until smooth. Set the sesame sauce aside.
Step 4
Return the cooked noodles to the pot or place them in a large mixing bowl. Pour the sesame sauce over the noodles and toss until evenly coated. Use the reserved pasta water to thin the sauce if necessary.
Step 5
Add the sautéed broccoli to the noodles and gently toss to combine.
Step 6
Transfer the sesame noodles with broccoli to serving plates or a large serving dish. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced scallions.
Step 7
Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy!
