Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces spaghetti or linguine
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 6 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes adjust to taste
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce such as romaine or iceberg
  • 2 green onions sliced
  • Sesame seeds for garnish optional

Method
 

  1. Cook the spaghetti or linguine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, sautéing for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
  3. Stir in the soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Cook for another minute until the sugar has dissolved.
  4. Add the cooked noodles to the skillet, tossing to coat them evenly in the sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the noodles to absorb the flavors.
  5. Remove from heat and fold in the shredded lettuce and sliced green onions.
  6. Serve warm, garnished with sesame seeds if desired.

Notes

  • For added protein, consider tossing in cooked shrimp, chicken, or tofu when mixing in the noodles.
  • To make it vegetarian or vegan, ensure the soy sauce is plant-based and omit any animal proteins. You can also add more vegetables like bell peppers or snap peas for extra crunch and nutrition.
