Start by cooking the noodles. In a large pot of boiling salted water, add your noodles and cook them according to package instructions. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. You want them al dente, so keep an eye on them.

While the noodles are cooking, heat a tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, toss in the minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn them.

Next, drain the noodles when they’re ready, reserving a little pasta water if you want to adjust the sauce’s consistency later. Add the drained noodles directly into the skillet with the garlic and ginger. Toss them around in the pan to coat them in those lovely aromas.

Drizzle the hot honey, soy sauce, and sesame oil over the noodles and give everything a good toss. If you find the sauce too thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta water to loosen it up until you achieve your desired consistency.

Once everything is well combined and heated through, add the chopped green onions and give it one last toss. You want those beautiful green bits to soften slightly yet still retain their crunch.

Finally, serve up the noodles in bowls, garnishing with sesame seeds and additional green onions if desired. Your savory hot honey noodles are ready to ignite those taste buds!
