Prepare Spaghetti: Start by cooking the spaghetti according to the package directions until it reaches the al dente stage. Once cooked, drain the spaghetti and rinse it with cold water. Ensure it’s well-drained to prevent excess moisture in the dish.

Toss with Sesame Oil: In a large mixing bowl, toss the cooked and drained noodles with sesame oil until evenly coated. This step adds a nutty flavor and prevents the noodles from sticking together.
-
Prepare Sauce: In another bowl, whisk together the low sodium soy sauce, sherry wine, Chinese chili sauce, tahini, white sugar, minced garlic, and grated fresh ginger until well combined. This aromatic sauce is the heart of the dish, infusing it with layers of savory, sweet, and spicy flavors.
-
Combine and Toss: Pour the prepared sauce over the noodles and toss everything together until the noodles are thoroughly coated. Take your time to ensure that each strand of spaghetti is infused with the delicious sauce, creating a harmonious blend of flavors in every bite.
-
Season and Garnish: Grind black pepper over the noodles to taste, adding a subtle kick of heat to complement the other flavors. Then, garnish the dish with thinly sliced English cucumber and freshly chopped coriander, adding a refreshing crunch and vibrant color contrast.
