Directions:
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook noodles according to package instructions.
Finely mince the garlic and add to a saute pan with 1 tbsp of oil. Saute over low heat for about 2 minutes or until golden brown. Add in the grated ginger and saute for 1 more minute.
Remove from heat and add in all remaining sauce ingredients (starting with ⅓ cup of water) and whisk together until smooth, adding more water as needed to reach your desired consistency.
Add about ½ of the sauce to cooked pasta and mix together. Start with ½ and add more depending on your preference.
