Ingredients
  

For the Noodles
  • 1 pack Packaged Noodles Choose brands like Momofuku or Trader Joe's for quick preparation.
For the Sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Butter Use non-dairy butter for a vegan option.
  • 1 tablespoon Honey Can be swapped for agave syrup to keep it vegan.
  • 2 tablespoons Sesame Oil Essential for the nutty flavor; avocado oil can be used if unavailable.

Equipment

  • Medium saucepan
  • colander
  • Wooden Spoon

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by bringing a large pot of water to a rolling boil over high heat. Add the packaged noodles and cook according to the package instructions, typically around 10 minutes, until al dente. Drain in a colander and set aside.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine butter, honey, and sesame oil. Place over low heat, stirring gently until melted and smooth.
  3. Add the drained noodles to the saucepan, tossing to combine. If sticky, splash in a little reserved pasta water. Cook for another 2 minutes over low heat to ensure coating and heating.
  4. Remove from heat, transfer to serving plates, and garnish with optional toppings like chili crisp, sesame seeds, or green onions.
