Ingredients

Any dried pasta
Soy sauce
Sesame oil
White pepper (optional)
Chili oil (optional)
scallions (chopped, optional)

Instructions

Cook the pasta according to package directions. Drain. Toss with soy sauce and sesame oil to taste. If using, mix in white pepper, chili oil, and scallions to taste.
Make sure to add condiments in small quantities as you’re mixing the noodles together, especially the soy sauce––it can get salty very quickly. Add the soy sauce a teaspoon at a time.
