Ingredients

1 pound thin spaghetti noodles cooked and drained
2 tablespoons kosher salt for the pasta water
4 green onions white and light green parts sliced thin
3 cloves garlic smashed and minced
2 pinces red pepper flakes to taste
2 tablespoons white sugar
1/4 cup soy sauce
3 tablespoons coconut oil unrefined and non-hydrogenated
2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
2 tablespoons toasted sesame seed oil
1 to 2 tablespoons reserved pasta water

Instructions

Cook pasta according to package directions, I like to add a big pinch of salt and about a tablespoon of olive oil to the water, but do what you want! Then drain. Mean while slice green onions {set aside} and begin the sauce.
To make the sauce, start by adding minced garlic, pepper flakes, sugar, soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil and coconut oil to a small bowl, whisk until all ingredients are combined.
When noodles are cooked, drain and return to the same pot. Pour the sauce over the noodles and toss. Now would be the time to add the reserved pasta sauce and toss some more.
Add the sliced green onions and serve. Store in an air-tight container and refrigerated for a few days.
