  • Directions

Bring a large pot of water to boil over high heat. Cook the noodles until tender but firm according to directions (egg noodles will take about 2 minutes). Drain and shock in ice-cold water, then drain again.
In a large bowl, whisk together the vinegar, sesame paste, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil and chili-garlic sauce until smooth. Add the noodles and toss well to distribute the sauce evenly throughout. Garnish with scallions and cilantro and serve at room temperature or slightly chilled.
