Even though my husband are gluten-free, I still make this dish for my children who love anything that includes pasta. Since it is an easy dish and I can prepare the sauce and toppings ahead, it usually isn’t a problem to cook it while finishing my other dinner entrees. If you want to enjoy this recipe gluten-free, there are some great pastas out there that will give you a good result, too.
Asian Sesame Noodles (fast and easy dinner!)

Combine the soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, ginger, garlic, Sriracha, olive oil, and salt in a bowl and whisk to combine. Add the sesame oil to taste.

Ideas . . .
If you have some leftover chicken, you can dice it and toss with the finished noodle dish.
A scrambled egg, finely broken up can be added for a change of taste and more protein in the dish.
