Yield 4-6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

Honey-Garlic Sauce:
1/3 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup mirin
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 or 2 fresh bird's-eye chiles, finely diced
1 tablespoon honey
Noodles and friends:
12 ounces thin egg noodles
2 tablespoons sunflower or vegetable oil
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
6 scallions, thinly sliced
2 limes: 1 halved, 1 cut into wedges for serving
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Fresh cilantro or your favorite spicy herbs, for serving

Steps:

  • Make the sauce:
  • In a small bowl, combine the sauce ingredients. Stir and set aside.
  • Make the noodles and friends:
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the noodles according to the package directions. When 1 minute of cooking time remains and the noodles are softened but firm, drain.
  • In a wok, heat the sunflower oil over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the noodles and ginger and stir-fry for 2 minutes, keeping the noodles moving the entire time.
  • Pour in the sauce and cook for 1 minute, tossing to ensure that the noodles are completely coated. Turn off the heat.
  • Toss in the scallions, squeeze the juice of the halved lime on top, and sprinkle on the sesame seeds. Give everything a good toss to mix and combine.
  • Serve with the lime wedges and fresh cilantro or spicy greens.
