1
Bring a big pot of salted water to a boil; cook pasta according to package directions; drain well and rinse with hot water.
2
Meanwhile, in a small pan, combine the broth, soy sauce, sugar, lemon juice, ginger, red pepper flakes, and garlic; whisk in the cornstarch.

Bring to a boil over medium heat; stir constantly until thickened, about 3 minutes, then stir in the sesame oil; set aside, keeping warm.
