Instructions
Cook noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Rinse under cold water, drain, and toss with a bit of sesame oil to prevent sticking.
In a bowl, whisk together sesame oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, peanut butter (if using), grated ginger, minced garlic, honey, and chili sauce until smooth.
Toss the cooked noodles with the sauce until evenly coated.
Serve the noodles garnished with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
Enjoy warm or cold, as desired.
Notes
Use fresh ginger for the best flavor.
• If you like it spicy, add a dash of chili sauce.
• Cook noodles until just al dente to avoid mushiness.
• Toast sesame seeds lightly for an extra flavor boost.
• Cool noodles under cold water to stop the cooking process and keep them loose.
