Instructions

Step 1: Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add 8 oz spaghetti noodles and cook for 8 minutes until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 4 minced garlic cloves and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
Step 3: Stir in 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp brown sugar, and 1 tbsp rice vinegar, cooking for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Step 4: Add the cooked noodles to the skillet and toss thoroughly to coat evenly in the sauce, cooking for another 2 minutes.
Step 5: Remove from heat and stir in 2 sliced green onions and 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds. Sprinkle 1/4 tsp red chili flakes if desired for a mild heat before serving.
