Start by heating a pan for the sauce and put your noodles on to cook.

Once the pan is hot add the sesame oil.

Grate some ginger and garlic and add this to the hot oiled pan.

Saute this until fragrant for about 1 minute on medium heat.

Mix the ingredients for the sauce together and add this to the pan as well.

Let this simmer until the sugar in the sauce dissolves and the sauce slightly thickens, about 3 minutes on medium to low heat.

Once the noodles are done, drain them and add them to your plate or bowl with the sauce.

Mix everything up and top with sesame seeds and spring onion if you like.
