20 Minute Stir Fried Honey Ginger Sesame Noodles…best for nights when you’re craving a saucy, salty, noodle, but want something homemade…and quick. Noodles stir fried in a sweet and spicy, ginger garlic sauce with lots of stir fried vegetables and toasted sesame cashews. These quick vegetable-filled noodle bowls can be made and ready in just about 20 minutes. Not only is this a healthy (vegan) noodle bowl, it’s also delicious…and extra saucy too. Just the way all noodles should be.
Well, happy Thursday day guys! Not sure about you all, but this week is both flying by and going so slow. Busy days, but also long days, which makes me very much ready for a quick-cooking weeknight dinner…and then the weekend!
Enter these, saucy, quick, and easy noodles…inspired by Asher, but fancied up a bit (in a good way)!
Nothing about this recipe requires rocket science by any means. It’s a very simple recipe, but also one of those recipes that everyone finds really damn delicious. It’s the combination of a salty soy sauce and sweet honey…so good!
Asher LOVES noodles. Just like my mom really. Anything buttery, salty, and filled with carbs is right up her alley.
But ramen noodles tossed in a bit of soy sauce? Oh my gosh, that is her real favorite. If I made that for her daily, she’d be a pretty happy gal. I too had a craving for noodles, so I thought, why not just make Asher’s favorite recipe, but do it up ever so slightly.
I always start by making the cashews, which are totally optional. But I do love the crunch and added texture they bring. I roast them in the oven, then toss them with soy sauce, honey, sriracha, and sesame seeds. They come out a little sweet, spicy and salty.
Warning, they are definitely a bit addicting. You may just want to double the recipe and save some for later!
While the nuts bake, I do literally everything else so that by the time they’re done cooking, the noodles are ready for eating.
For the sauce, it’s a simple mix of soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and peanut butter or tahini. I like to add molasses for a little tang and sweetness that you’d usually find in a hoisin-style sauce.
Next, boil the noodles. You can really use any kind of noodle, but a good ramen noodle is my favorite. If you’re gluten-free, use your favorite rice noodles (or try these gluten-free ramen noodles). Make the recipe work for you! Drain the noodles, then start stir-frying the vegetables. I like to use a mix of vegetables. Broccoli, snap peas, peppers, and spinach are my favorites! Throw in lots of ginger, then pour in the sauce and simmer a bit until the sauce thickens.
Now grab those noodles and toss them right into that sauce. Add a couple of spoonfuls of chili garlic oil and stir fry until the sauce coats the noodles. Then remove everything from the heat and serve it up!
It’s best to serve these right off the stove as the noodles soak up the sauce pretty quickly! That’s not to say that leftovers aren’t great, because they are. But the noodles are BEST right off the stove.
Perfect for busy spring and summer weeknights. When it’s hot out and you’re looking for a quick and healthy dinner…this is your dish!
Hoping you guys love this one as much as I do. I’m already excited to make this again tonight!

This took a little longer than I was expecting (for sure not 20 minutes). The flavor was fine but very spicy for me—and I cut down on the chili oil! Not my fave HBH recipe but not mad I made it.
Hi Elisa! Thanks for giving this recipe a try, and for letting me know how I can improve it! xTieghan
This is seriously so good! We made it and added in some ground turkey and chili paste to the sauce for some heat. Delicious! We have not tried a recipe yet of yours that we didn’t love! Thank you for making dinners easy!
Hi there! Thanks so much for trying out this recipe, so glad to hear it was enjoyed! xTieghan
Made this with bear meat my boyfriend just hunted over the week. Was amazing, he wants me to make it again 🙂 Think I’ll add some chilies for spice when I make it next time
*extra chilies*
Wow! I’ve definitely never tried this recipe with bear meat before! Way to make it your own 🙂 xTieghan
This was absolutely AMAZING! I could eat this every day, lol! Thank you for the recipe!

Hey Casey,
Happy Friday!! I love to hear that this recipe was enjoyed, thanks a bunch for giving it a go:) xTieghan
Great recipe! Made it for the first time for a dinner with friends and we all thoroughly enjoyed; no leftovers! Will definitely make it again. We didn’t have the chili oil so used Sambal instead to substitute. Also used mushrooms, spinach, broccolini and snap peas for veggies and gluten free ramen. It was perfect!
Hey Anu,
Fantastic! Love to hear that the recipe was enjoyed, thanks bunch for making it. Have the best weekend:) xTieghan
Delicious! I burnt all my cashews though I think oven was too hot my side, and it took me longer then 20mins but I know it will be faster next time! Really easy and delicious! Thanks for this recipe. Definitely making it again ?
Hey Candice,
Happy Wednesday! Thanks so much for making this recipe, I am thrilled that it was enjoyed! xTieghan
This was really delicious and relatively easy! It needed a bit of brightness at the end….I drizzled lime juice on the finished product and thought that put it over the edge!! Thanks again for a fabulous recipe!
Hey Becca,

Made this last night with homemade ramen noodles.
This was my first recipe made from you, Tieghan- I don’t know what I was waiting for?! My fiancé and I are obsessed with you!! 🙂

Hey Courtney,
Awesome! Love to hear that this recipe was enjoyed, thanks a lot for giving it a try! xTieghan
I’m looking forward to trying this! Question: I already have a jar of roasted cashews. I would hate to go out and buy raw just for the recipe, when I already have cashews in the cupboard. Any way to get the sweet and spicy sauce on already roasted cashews? That part sounds SO good! Thanks!
Hey Natasha,
You could just pop them in the oven for a little bit:) I hope the recipe turns out amazing for you! Please let me know if you give the recipe a try! xTieghan

Made this for dinner tonight. Substituted zucchini noodles in my portion. Added chicken to the entire dish. And somehow I forgot cashews at the store so no cashews tonight. But… still a great dish! My family loves your recipes!
