Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Spaghetti

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process.

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the spaghetti is cooking, wash and julienne the cucumber and red bell pepper. Set aside. Also, shred the carrots if not pre-shredded.

  3. 3

    Chop the Cilantro

    Rinse the fresh cilantro under cold water, shake off excess water, and roughly chop the leaves and tender stems.

Making the Dressing

    Mix the Dressing Ingredients

    In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger until well combined.

Assembling the Dish

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked spaghetti, shredded carrots, cucumber, red bell pepper, and chopped cilantro.

  2. 6

    Add Dressing

    Pour the dressing over the spaghetti and vegetables. Toss gently to ensure everything is well coated with the dressing.

  3. 7

    Garnish and Serve

    Sprinkle sesame seeds over the top as a garnish. Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes for a refreshing cold dish.
