INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add noodles and cook until barely tender, about 5 minutes; they should retain a hint of chewiness. Drain, rinse with cold water, drain again and toss with a splash of sesame oil.

  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons sesame oil, the soy sauce, rice vinegar, maple syrup, ginger, garlic, and hot sauce (optional).

  3. In a large bowl, toss the noodles with the dressing and add a sprinkle of sesame seeds.

  4. If serving immediately, portion the noodles out into bowls and top with Kimchi and other desired garnishes.

  5. Enjoy!
