Easy Sesame Noodles

written by Emma Tang

Easy Sesame Noodles-FeatureSesame noodles originates from northern China cuisine and is loved especially by people living in Beijing. When I studied for my undergraduate degree there, there is a small diner owned by a couple in their 50’s who made the best sesame cold noodles right outside of our university.

As a reminder of the good old days when me and my friends used to go to that diner for this dish. I have decided to make this sesame cold noodles dish at home today. I felt like you guys would be interested in how to make this as well because it’s super tasty, incredibly easy-to-make and also very budget-friendly!

Easy Sesame SauceThe sesame sauce is the key to this dish. It’s made by mixing together sesame paste, soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, rice vinegar and water in a container. If you like it spicy, add a little bit of Sriracha!

Sesame Noodles with green onionSesame paste is made from ground sesame seeds. It’s a healthier alternative to peanut butter and people are less likely to have allergic reaction to it. (This is the type of sesame paste I am currently using, could be replaced with tahini sauce as well)

Before digging in, simply mix everything well with a pair of chopsticks and you’re all set! I spent only less than 10 minutes to make this dish today. While this dish is normally served as an appetizer, I think it’s a great choice for a quick breakfast as well!

Tasting the Sesame NoodlesI hope you enjoy making this easy sesame noodle at home. If you like this recipe, please leave a rating and share it with your friends!

I’ve made these several times in the past week, my family gobbles them up. I ran out of sesame paste (since we’ve been eating these so much) and substituted 1.5 tablespoons of crunchy peanut butter (it’s what I had) and it was still really good (and I’m not a fan of peanut buttery sesame noodles). Thanks for the recipe!

What a great, fast recipe. Really perked up my quarantine lunch rotation..I’m gluten free, so I used rice noodles. And I subbed almond butter, and sweet chili paste for the hot sauce & sugar. Fab!
