In a small bowl whisk the remaining 1 tablespoon sesame oil, the soy sauce, lime juice, and hot chili-garlic sauce. Set aside. In a deep skillet or large pot over medium-high heat on the stove, warm the olive oil. Add the garlic and ginger and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds, stirring constantly. Add the spinach and cook until it just begins to wilt, 1 to 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the noodles and the reserved soy-chili mixture.
