Instructions
-
Cook the Pasta: Begin by boiling a large pot of water and cooking the angel hair pasta until it is nearly al dente. Once done, drain it well, and transfer it to a large bowl, setting it aside to cool slightly.
-
Prepare the Sauce: In a small tupperware container with a secure lid, combine the sesame oil, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, and toasted sesame seeds.
-
Mix the Sauce: Secure the lid tightly and shake the container vigorously to mix the ingredients thoroughly, ensuring a delightful blend of flavors.
-
Combine Pasta and Sauce: Pour the sauce over the warm angel hair pasta and toss everything together well. The residual heat from the pasta will gently cook the garlic, enhancing its flavor without leaving it raw.
-
Add Green Onions and Optional Veggies: Gently fold in the sliced green onions and, if desired, any stir-fry vegetables you have on hand for an extra crunch and flavor.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Serve your sesame noodles warm, and feel free to sprinkle with a dash of red pepper flakes for a delightful kick if desired.
Enjoy this easy-to-make dish that’s both a tribute to Mirj and a delicious meal in its own right!
