- 1 measuring cups and spoons
Ingredients
- 12 oz linguine or spaghetti noodles
- 4 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 8 cloves garlic, minced
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes optional

Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the linguine or spaghetti noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain the noodles in a colander and set aside.
- In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.

- Add the drained noodles to the skillet, tossing them gently to coat with the sauce. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring continuously until everything is well combined and heated through.
- Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
- Optionally, feel free to add your favorite vegetables such as bok choy, broccoli, or bell peppers for extra nutrition and flavor.
Notes
Feel free to add your favorite vegetables such as bok choy, broccoli, or bell peppers for extra nutrition and flavor. For a gluten-free option, substitute the spaghetti with gluten-free noodles and use tamari instead of soy sauce. This dish can be easily doubled for larger gatherings or meal prep for the week.
