Tips and Tricks
- You can easily swap linguine for other types of noodles such as ramen, rice noodles, spaghetti, or fettuccine.
- If the sauce is too thick, feel free to thin it out with a little water or extra vegetable oil for a thinner consistency that coats the noodles well.
- If you need a substitute for soy sauce, consider using Tamari for a gluten-free option or coconut aminos for a lower sodium and sweet flavor profile.
- Depending on your preference for sweetness, adjust the amount of honey, agave syrup, or brown sugar in your sauce. Taste and adjust until it's just right.
