  1. 1

    Gather the ingredients.

  2. 2

    Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring it to a rolling boil. Cook the noodles in the boiling water, stirring now and then, until slightly firm, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain, rinse with cold water, then toss the noodles with 1 teaspoon sesame oil and set aside.

    Whisk the soy sauce and sugar together in a small bowl, then set aside.

  4. 4

    Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir the carrots, asparagus, onions, and garlic in the hot oil until softened, about 5 minutes.

  5. 5

    Stir in the green onions and mushrooms, and keep cooking and stirring for 30 seconds.

  6. 6

    Pour in the soy sauce mixture, then add the noodles. Cook and stir until the noodles are heated through, 2 to 3 minutes.

  7. 7

    Remove from the heat and toss with the sesame seeds and the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons sesame oil.
