These ginger noodles make an excellent side-dish to go with your favorite Chinese or Thai meal. What I really like about this recipe is the combination of flavors that it offers. The dish gets a good amount of flavor from both ginger and sesame oil. It is also both sweet and spicy—the sweetness comes from the honey and the dish gets a little heat from the hot chili oil. There are a variety of different types of noodles you can use for this recipe—soba noodles, Chow Mein noodles, thin spaghetti, etc. To prepare this dish the noodles are boiled in a pot and then tossed with the sauce mixture and sesame seeds. Enjoy. Adapted from simply reem.
