Ingredients

• 250 grams dried spaghetti noodles
• 2 tablespoons sesame oil
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce
• 2 green onions, chopped
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
• 200 grams cooked chicken breast, sliced (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil over high heat. Add a liberal pinch of salt to the boiling water.

Step 2

Once the water is boiling, add the dried spaghetti noodles and cook according to the package instructions until al dente, usually about 8 to 10 minutes.

Step 3

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix together sesame oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, and Sriracha sauce until well combined.

Step 4

In a large non-stick skillet over medium heat, add the sesame oil. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.

Step 5

Drain the cooked noodles and transfer them to the skillet with the garlic.

Step 6

Pour the sauce mixture over the noodles. Use tongs to toss the noodles until they are well coated in the sauce.

Step 7

If using cooked chicken, add it to the skillet and mix until everything is heated through.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from the heat and add the chopped green onions, sesame seeds, and cilantro, tossing everything once more to combine.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. For extra spice, feel free to add more Sriracha at this stage.

Step 10

Serve immediately while hot, garnished with additional sesame seeds and green onions, if desired.
