Ingredients

1/4 cup avocado oil

3 scallions, chopped, plus extra for garnish

1 tablespoon garlic paste

1 tablespoon grated ginger

2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes

Pinch kosher salt, plus more for the pasta water

12 ounces linguine

2 tablespoons honey

1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce, or more to taste

2 teaspoons sesame oil

Sriracha, for serving

Directions

Special equipment:
a deep-fry thermometer
  1. Heat the avocado oil in a small saucepan over medium heat until hot (350 degrees F), 2 to 3 minutes. Meanwhile, combine the scallions, garlic paste, ginger, red pepper flakes and salt in a heatproof bowl. Stir well.
  2. Remove the oil from the heat and carefully add to the mixture. Stir to combine and set aside. Let the flavors sit to combine for 20 minutes. (This mixture can be made ahead of time, cooled completely and stored in an airtight jar at room temperature for up to 2 days.)
  3. Cook the linguine in a large pot of salted water until al dente. Drain and add the hot noodles to a large bowl.
  4. Add the flavored oil, honey, soy sauce and sesame oil. Toss well to combine. Add more soy or salt to taste.
  5. Garnish with sliced scallions and sriracha to taste.

I am giving this 5 stars because this dish is Fun! It's fast! It's EXCITING! It's Super flavorful! And WOW it is **VERY** spicy!!! So we will definitely re-make but will cut the chili flakes by half. I added probably 1/2 C of the pasta water, some extra soy sauce and another Tbsp of honey to dilute the spice enough to eat as written. But it is Delightful! Served with grilled chicken thighs seasoned simply with garlic salt and pepper & a cold iceberg salad.
