Ingredients

Scale

Noodles

  • 12 ounces brown rice noodles

Sauce

  • 1 tablespoon neutral oil (avocado, olive, or refined coconut oil)
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced finely
  • 1/4 to 1/3 cup low sodium soy sauce or tamari
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable broth
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons tahini
  • 2 teaspoons sriracha
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

Garnish

  • Chopped scallions
  • Red pepper flakes
  • Crushed peanuts

Instructions

  1. Boil Water: Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil, preparing it for cooking the noodles.
  2. Cook Noodles: Add the brown rice noodles to the boiling water and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  3. Minced Garlic Preparation: Mince the garlic very finely or use a garlic press to finely crush the cloves. This ensures the garlic integrates well in the sauce without overpowering large pieces.
  4. Sauté Garlic: Heat the neutral oil in a pan over medium heat and add the minced garlic. Sauté gently, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
  5. Sauté Until Golden: Continue sautéing the garlic until the edges turn a golden brown color, releasing its fragrant aroma—be careful not to burn it.
  6. Whisk Sauce: In a separate bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, vegetable broth, rice vinegar, toasted sesame oil, honey or maple syrup, tahini, sriracha, and ground ginger until the sauce is smooth with no clumps.
  7. Add Sauce to Garlic: Pour the prepared sauce mixture into the pan with the sautéed garlic and stir well to combine everything evenly.
  8. Simmer Sauce: Allow the sauce to simmer gently for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly and flavors meld.
  9. Combine Pasta and Sauce: Add the drained noodles to the pan with the sauce. Toss thoroughly to coat the noodles evenly with the flavorful garlic sesame sauce.
  10. Serve: Transfer the noodles to serving plates and garnish with chopped scallions, red pepper flakes, and crushed peanuts for added texture and flavor. Enjoy immediately.

Notes

  • You can substitute brown rice noodles with gluten-free noodles for a gluten-free version.
  • Adjust the amount of sriracha to control the heat level according to your preference.
  • Use maple syrup instead of honey to keep the recipe vegan.
  • For a creamier sauce, you can add a little more tahini or a tablespoon of peanut butter.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop with a splash of water or broth.
