Description

These Sesame Noodles are a vibrant and satisfying meal that brings the bold flavors of Chinese cuisine to your home kitchen. The dish features a luxurious sauce made from Chinese sesame paste, dark sesame oil, and tamari, creating a deep, nutty, and slightly spicy flavor profile. Tender wheat or soba noodles are tossed with crisp mung bean sprouts and fresh cilantro, offering a delightful contrast in textures. Topped with unsalted roasted peanuts and sliced scallions, this dish is perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a light lunch. It is naturally vegan-friendly (when using maple syrup instead of honey) and comes together in under an hour.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the noodles according to package directions until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop cooking; toss with a little oil to prevent sticking.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the Chinese sesame paste, dark sesame oil, tamari soy sauce, rice wine, rice vinegar, honey, chili paste, five-spice powder, and minced garlic until smooth and well combined.
  3. Place the drained noodles in a large serving bowl. Pour the sesame sauce over the noodles.
  4. Toss the noodles vigorously until they are evenly coated with the sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add a tablespoon of warm water to loosen it.
  5. Add the fresh mung bean sprouts and half of the sliced scallions to the bowl. Toss gently to distribute.
  6. Divide the noodles among serving plates. Top with chopped cilantro, remaining sliced scallions, and roasted peanuts. Serve immediately.
