Ingredients

1 (16 ounce) package angel hair pasta
0.5 cup sesame oil
0.5 cup soy sauce
0.25 cup balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon hot chili oil
0.25 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon sesame seeds, or more if desired
1 green onion, chopped
1 red bell pepper, diced

Instructions

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a vigorous boil over high heat. Add the angel hair pasta, ensuring the water returns to a boil. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is al dente, about 4 to 5 minutes. Drain thoroughly in a colander.
In a large bowl, whisk together the sesame oil, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, chili oil, and sugar. Toss the cooked pasta in this flavorful dressing, then garnish with sesame seeds, green onion, and bell pepper. Serve immediately or chill for a refreshing cold salad.
