  • In a small saucepan, heat the olive oil, broth, lime zest, lime juice, fish sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, red pepper flakes, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir occasionally while bringing to a boil.
  • If desired, blanch or sauté the vegetables (can also keep raw.)  In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil. Then, remove from the heat and add the pasta. Let noodles stand for 7-9 minutes, until soft but still a little firm.
