Garlic Sesame Noodles - Asian-flavored spaghetti with soy sauce, oyster sauce, garlic and sesame. Easy and delicious recipe that takes 15 mins to make.
On a weekly basis, we eat noodles (mostly spaghetti) about two or three times a week. You see, Little G’s favorite food is spaghetti, and if you ask him what he wants for dinner, his answer would probably be Parmesan garlic noodles.
So I have been switching up and make different variations so we won’t be bored of eating the same thing! But honestly, I desperately need a new recipe to add to the mix, badly.
My sesame noodles recipe on Rasa Malaysia is made with a rich and creamy sesame sauce, however this garlic sesame noodle is flavored with soy sauce, oyster sauce, garlic, and sesame oil.
It’s the Asian flavored spaghetti noodle dish that is both appetizing and delicious.
This recipe is so easy, fuss-free, and you don’t even need to fire up a skillet to cook. All you have to do is cook the noodles, make the sauce, and then toss them together.
Easy peasy and no major cleaning and wiping of the stove top and kitchen counter.
The taste is savory and aromatic, from the garlic, sesame oil and sesame seeds. It’s great on its own or with chicken, shrimp, with a healthy serving of garlic bok choy.
I served this with the garlic herb sauteed mushrooms, a simple dinner that is both filling and nutritious.

Hi, can i use white rice vinegar instead of apple cider vinegar? Thanks.
Yes you can!
Delicious. I cooked some shitake mushrooms and asian greens and tossed through. Will make again.
Such a delicious and quick dinner! This is really a 30 min. or under recipe from mis en place on.
And I usually double or triple the sauce, but with this one I could see it was exactly right. Tossed the very al dente thin spaghetti with lots of scallions and freshly steamed broccoli florets, sesame seeds, this is a “go to” recipe.
Holiday weekend, out of fresh garlic, subbed 1/4 tsp. roasted garlic powder. Still lovely, a refreshing and filling
dish after a hot day at the beach. Thank you, Bee! I love your website…..
We have some food allergies in our household.. is there an alternative to the oyster sauce? It looks like a very delicious and easy pasta to make.
You can use soy sauce and sugar.
Hi, is the garlic raw then? Just mix in the sauce?
Yes.
Thanks!
Do you think using zoodles with this recipe would work? I have made this many times and love it but would like to eat less pasta :)
You can try. I am not sure since I have never tried it. ;)
I’m trying i
t tonight—I will report back :)
Would this be good if I added some type of meat to it – maybe flank steak?
I’m going to try this tonight with teriyaki salmon and salad!
I just whipped this up following your recipe, except I cooked a whole pound of pasta. I just doubled the ingredients in the sauce and it came out great. It’s very easy and super tasty. Thanks!
