    Who doesn’t love chewy umami-filled noodles… Especially when it only takes 10 minutes to make?! This quick and easy Asian recipe has a deep, rich, savory sauce that coats the bouncy noodles so well! It’s one of the recipes I know I can put together quickly to satisfy my hanger, while still having a big bold flavor. 

    I definitely wish I knew about this or spicy Peanut Sauce Noodles in college, instead of scarfing down bland Cup Noodles LOL. If you want quick protein, my Air Fryer Miso Salmon is my tried & true go to for lazy healthy eating!

    Putting Together Delicious Sesame Noodles

    • Ideal Noodles to Use: My favorite type of noodles to use for this rich creamy dish is fresh noodles. Thick, fresh, hand-cut noodles add a fun texture that I LOVE, however, fresh spaghetti shaped wheat noodles work great too!
    • Yummy Toppings: This sesame noodles recipe is great as is, but you can jazz it up with some toppings as well! Finish this dish with a soft boiled egg, fresh cucumbers, edamame, or green onions!
    • Serving Hot or Cold: Traditionally, these sesame noodles are served cold, however, they’re just as delicious warm! If you decide to serve them cold, you’ll just want to make sure to rinse the noodles in cold water once they’re finished boiling.
    • Make It Spicy: If you want a little kick to your sesame noodles, drizzle on a little chili oil. I love using my homemade Sichuan chili oil because it's garlicky, spicy, & packed with tons of morsels of goodness in every spoonful!

    These easy sesame noodles take only 10 minutes to put together, but don’t skimp on flavor! Try these noodles out and let me know in the comments which toppings you used!

    Notes

    • Fresh Wheat Noodles: Fresh noodles are perfect for a quick meal because they cook much quicker than dry noodles. For this recipe, I used fresh wheat noodles, but any fresh noodles will work! You can easily find fresh noodles at local Asian markets in the refrigerated section.
    • Soy Sauce / Dark Soy Sauce: Regular and light soy sauce is the most common and accessible at grocery stores. They add saltiness to the dish. Dark soy sauce, on the other hand, is used for the rich dark color it gives food. You can easily find it at local Asian markets. If you do omit it, just keep in mind that your sauce will come out lighter in color.
    • Sesame Paste: I highly recommend using Chinese sesame paste for a rich sesame flavor, however, if you have difficulty finding Chinese sesame paste at your local Asian market, you can swap it out with Tahini or creamy peanut butter. The flavor will be different, but still creamy and delicious nonetheless!
    • Toppings: You can also experiment with different toppings as well! Mix in finely sliced cucumber, soft-boiled eggs, edamame, or even your favorite protein.
