Creating Sesame Noodle Bowls is straightforward when you follow these simple steps:

1. Cook the Noodles: Start by boiling water in a large pot. Once boiling, add the rice noodles or spaghetti and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.

2. Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, combine the sesame oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey (or maple syrup), minced garlic, and ginger. Whisk until well combined.

3. Prepare the Vegetables: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded carrots, bell peppers, and edamame.

4. Combine Noodles and Vegetables: Add the cooked noodles to the bowl with vegetables. Pour the dressing over the mixture and toss gently to combine everything evenly.

5. Add Garnishes: Sprinkle in half of the chopped green onions and toss again.

6. Serve: Transfer the noodles to serving bowls and top with remaining green onions, sesame seeds, and fresh cilantro or parsley if desired.

7. Enjoy: Dig in and relish the deliciousness of your homemade Sesame Noodle Bowls!
