Simple Sesame Noodles
Here’s another takeout dish that is made better at home. It’s so simple and fast to throw together on a weeknight. Some sesame noodle recipes add peanut butter, which is delicious, but this recipe really highlights sesame. Serve with a grilled piece of meat for a complete meal.
Tips:
If you don’t like heat, eliminate the chili oil. If you do, but don’t have chili oil you can add red pepper flakes or sambal.
These are great hot or cold.
Julienned carrots or cucumber would be a nice addition to the dish. Would add a nice crunchy element.
