Ingredients

Shortcut Sesame Butter Noodles:

• optional toppings: green onion, sesame seeds, chili crisp, togarashi
  
• 1 (3.35 ounce) package saucy shortcut noodles – my favorite are the Momofuku spicy soy or soy scallion
• 1 tablespoons butter
• 1–2 teaspoons honey
• 1/2 tablespoon toasted sesame oil (more to taste)
• a splash of water

Instructions

1. Cook noodles: Follow the instructions on the package to cook the noodles. Be sure to include the small sauce packet.
2. Add in the add-ins: When butter and honey have melted and sesame oil is very hot, stir them in gently. Personal favour of taste goes by your fingertips, not by a measuring cup. Hot, it should shine like silk. As the years go by, though, it is surprisingly sticky at least to me. Yet if you add just a little warm water to loosen it up, it emulsifies, and then it becomes creamy. It’s perfect.
3. To serve and finish, top with crispy fried chilli, scallions, or a spicy or sesame-flavoured sprinkling!
4. Good as a snack, or serve it with a salad and/or fried egg to make it more of a meal. Or ground chicken. Or prawns. It’s one of those things that just fits every time.

Note

Degradation of noodle stickiness: After cooking, you could rinse them before coating with sauce to generally reduce stickiness levels. I rinse them a while and you are left with some starch. If you soak the noodles for over than ten seconds, then noodles will be slippery and very silky because most starch would be washed away. It won’t stick to the noodles nearly as much, but it tastes pretty great. When you cook the noodles and sauce together for a few minutes over low heat, you will get the best results if they are not sticking together as well as you’d like.
