Ingredients

• 200 grams dried noodles (e.g., spaghetti, soba, or ramen)
• 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 0.5 teaspoons chili flakes (optional)
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 2 stalks green onions, chopped
• 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
• 2 liters water (for boiling noodles)
• 1 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

Fill a large pot with 2 liters of water and add 1 teaspoon of salt. Bring it to a boil.

Step 2

Add the dried noodles to the boiling water and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Usually, this takes 8-10 minutes.

Step 3

While the noodles cook, prepare the tangy vinegar sauce. In a small bowl, combine the rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, chili flakes (if using), and sugar. Stir well to ensure the sugar dissolves completely.

Step 4

Once the noodles are cooked, drain them well and return them to the pot or place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 5

Pour the prepared vinegar sauce over the noodles while they are still warm. Toss them thoroughly to coat every strand with the sauce.

Step 6

Sprinkle the chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds over the noodles. Toss again to distribute evenly.

Step 7

Serve the noodles warm, at room temperature, or chilled, depending on your preference. Optionally, garnish with extra sesame seeds or a drizzle of sesame oil before serving.
