Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp sesame oil

  • 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup

  • 1 garlic clove, minced

  • 1 tsp grated ginger

  • 1 tbsp sriracha (optional for heat)

  • 1/4 cup hot water (to thin sauce)

Directions

  • Cook the Noodles: Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
