overview shot of easy Chinese sesame noodles

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp Chinese sesame paste (or tahini, look at notes above)
  • 1 1/2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1/2-1 tsp chili garlic sauce (or chili oil)
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp black vinegar
  • 2 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • 2 stalks green scallion, sliced thinly (green onion)
  • 8 oz wheat noodles (or soba noodles)
  • toasted sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  • Cook noodles according to package instructions.
  • While the noodles are cooking, make the sauce. In a large bowl, mix together the sesame paste, soy sauce, chili garlic sauce, garlic, black vinegar, and sesame oil. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
  • Once noodles are done, drain them and give it a light rinse. Make sure it is well drained and add it to the bowl with the sauce. Add the scallions. Use tongs and toss the noodles with the sauce until everything is evenly coated. It’s easier to do when the noodles are warm. Serve and top with some toasted sesame seeds and extra chopped scallions. Enjoy warm or cold! You can add some julienned carrots and cucumbers on top too!
