Easy Sesame Noodles that can be served hot or cold!  15 minutes from pan to table is all it takes for these slurpable noodles!  Better than take out because it’s made fresh at home!

If there is a food I love it has to be pasta.  I’ll pass on the brownies and the cheesecake but give me the noodles!  This super fast and fresh Sesame Noodle recipe checks every box in my noodle loving heart!

What ingredients do I need for these noodles?

• pasta – linquine (pictured) or spaghetti works great
• soy sauce – low sodium
• sesame oil
• rice vinegar – sub white wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar if needed
• ground ginger
• garlic powder
• hot sauce – like sirichia or tabasco
• honey
• sliced green onion
• toasted sesame seeds

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!

Add some cooked protein to those noodles for a full meal!

• shrimp
• chicken
• sliced beef
• pork
• tofu

We like to serve these noodles along side:

• Grilled Shrimp Skewers
• Lemon Chicken
• Mongolian Beef and Peppers
• Oven Fried Crispy Chicken Thighs
