Instructions

Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
Meanwhile make the sauce. In a 2-cup liquid measuring cup, measure and add brown sugar and vegetable bouillon. Pour in the very hot water and whisk well to dissolve. To that, measure and add ow-sodium soy sauce, toasted sesame oil and tahini, sambal oelek and rice vinegar. Whisk well to combine and set off to the side.
In a large skillet or wok, measure and add olive oil, garlic paste and ginger paste and heat over medium. Once sizzling, stir and cook for 1 minute.
Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook according to package directions. Most lo mein noodles take about 3 to 4 minutes.
Meanwhile, quickly give the sauce a quick stir before pouring it into the pan with the ginger and garlic. Stir and simmer for 4 minutes, then remove off of the heat.
Once the noodles are cooked, drain and add to the pan with the sauce. Toss well to coat the noodles.
Transfer the saucy noodles to a serving dish or individual bowls, drizzle with chili garlic crunch, a sprinkle of green onions and toasted sesame seeds.
