Canton Noodles with Sweet Ginger Spring Onion Sauce

Do you ever discover a recipe and wonder where it had been hiding all your life?

Where it was when you had to endure eating horribly made spaghetti and minced meat at someone’s house,

or where it was when you went to an Asian restaurant and got noodles that tasted like a shoe

or where it was when you couldn’t be bothered to cook and had to deal with having 2 minute noodles?

Well that was what I felt about this dish. I discovered this on Pinterest about three weeks ago and I have probably had it a total of 7 times since then. I LOVE IT. The sweetness of the honey and the tartness of the ginger coupled with the hot chillies…….. HEAVEN in my mouth I tell you.

I got this recipe from Simply Reem. I removed a few ingredients here and there like sesame seeds because I really do not like them; I substituted Chili oil for chilies, Soba noodles for Canton, and rice wine vinegar for white vinegar. You can play around with the ingredients depending on what is in your pantry. But try it this way first, it is heavenly. HAPPY COOKING!!
