- Spaghetti – you can use regular, whole wheat, or even a gluten free variety like this one. I use whole wheat spaghetti for my stir fry, as that is what I usually have on hand!
- Sesame Oil: I love adding sesame oil to almost any Asian-inspired dish. A great flavor from the toasted sesame seeds in these noodles.
- Soy Sauce / Tamari: for this recipe you can use regular soy sauce or tamari. Tamari is just a gluten-free version of soy sauce. I try to cook with tamari in recipes that I am making for a crowd, in case anyone is gluten free.
- Sriracha or Chili Sauce: I like this chili crisp sauce for a little heat and sweetness in my noodle dishes. I also use sriracha when I have some on hand, but it has been hard to find lately!
- Fresh Garlic
- Chopped vegetables: I used green onion and kale for my noodles, but you can mix it up and use your favorites: peapods, mushrooms, or peppers would be delicious.
- Sesame Seeds: I love garnishing with sesame seeds on top of noodle dishes, ramen, or anything that has sesame oil. These add a little crunch, texture, and flavor.
