  1. Start by bringing a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the noodles and cook according to package instructions (3-5 minutes). Drain the noodles, reserving some cooking water.
  2. In a medium skillet, melt the butter over low heat. Stir in the honey and sesame oil, mixing well for about 2 minutes until combined and slightly thickened. Adjust consistency with reserved pasta water if needed.
  3. Add the drained noodles to the skillet, tossing gently to coat them evenly in the sauce for 1-2 minutes to absorb flavors.
  4. Transfer noodles to serving plates and garnish with optional chili crisp, sesame seeds, and chopped green onions if using.
