Sesame Noodle Salad

  • 1/4 cup sesame oil
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce, or more to taste

  • 1/8 cup white sugar
  • 1 Tbsp. minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds, or more if desired
  • 2 green onion, chopped
  • 1/2 red bell pepper, diced

Directions:

  1. Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the angel hair pasta, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink.
  2. Whisk together the sesame oil, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, chili oil, garlic and sugar in a large bowl. Toss the pasta in the dressing, then sprinkle with sesame seeds, green onion, and bell pepper.
