1/3 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons sesame oil
2 tablespoons lime juice
2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
2 teaspoons honey
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon dried ginger
10 ounces soba or lo mein noodles
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound shrimp peeled
salt to taste
6 cloves garlic minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger grated
2 tablespoons sesame seeds

Instructions

Prepare a sauce by adding the soy sauce, sesame oil, lime juice, hoisin sauce, honey, garlic powder, red pepper flakes and dried ginger to a small bowl, and whisk until everything is well combined. Set it aside.
Meanwhile, cook the noodles according to the package instructions.
While the noodles cook, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the shrimp with salt, and then saute in the shrimp in the hot skillet. When the shrimp is nearly cooked through, toss in the minced garlic and grated ginger, and saute until the shrimp is finished.
Decrease the heat to low, and add the noodles and sauce to the skillet, stirring to coat everything in the sauce.
When everything is heated through, serve, topped with sesame seeds.
