Ingredients

8 oz noodles of choice such as spaghetti (ramen, or wheat noodles, I used instant ramen.)

2 tbsp sesame paste (or tahini)

1 tbsp dark soy sauce

1½ tbsp light soy sauce

2 cloves garlic (minced)

1 tsp freshly grated ginger

Directions

Boil your noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Before draining, reserve a few tablespoons of the noodle water.

In a bowl, combine sesame paste, dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, vinegar, sugar, and a few tablespoons of the reserved noodle water. Mix thoroughly until smooth and creamy.

Add the drained noodles to a large bowl and pour the sauce over the top. Toss well until every strand is evenly coated and glossy.

Place your noodles in a serving bowl. You can optionally garnish with chili flakes, sesame seeds, and scallions.
