What ingredients do I need for these noodles?

First get your pasta cooked. Drain but don’t rinse!
While your pasta is cooking whisk up your easy dressing.
Toast up your sesame seeds if they are not pre-toasted. They are so much better when you toast them yourself!
How to easily toast sesame seeds –
- Heat a dry pan on medium heat. Toss in your seeds and don’t walk away. This doesn’t take long. Keep stirring.
- Remove from the pan once they reach thier desired doneness. Remove from pan so they do not continue to cook.
Pour your hot drained noodles into a large bowl and toss with the dressing!
You are almost done!
Top with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
Serve them hot or chill them and serve cold – it’s the perfect dish!

I’m trying to think of something to use cold sesame noodles as a side with. Any recommendations?
Hi Katelyn – any type of grilled chicken or fish would be fabulous. Keep it simple, a sprinkle of salt pepper and olive oil and cook until perfect 165 degrees internally for chicken and 145 degrees for fish.
Could you use soba noodles?
Yes, any kind of pasta including soba will work!
Can you reheat this?
You bet! Freshen it up with a little bit of soy and sesame oil if it seems a little dry. The noodles really soak up all the sauce!
