Ingredients
- 250 grams spaghetti or thin noodles
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 5 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 inch piece ginger, minced
- 1 teaspoon Szechuan peppercorns
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon chili paste (such as sambal oelek)

Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti or thin noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Step 2
In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic, minced ginger, and Szechuan peppercorns. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds to a minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Step 3
Add the soy sauce, rice vinegar, chili paste, dark soy sauce, and honey to the skillet. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional 2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Step 4
Add the cooked noodles to the skillet and toss to coat with the sauce evenly. Ensure that the noodles are well mixed with the sauce.
Step 5
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Give it a quick toss to combine.
Step 6
Serve the noodles hot, garnished with fresh cilantro and a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes for extra heat, if desired.
