Sesame Noodles Recipe

Sesame Noodles tossed in a wonderful Asian Sesame Peanut Dressing! Terrific served at room temperature or heat, this can be a nice facet dish. Or flip it into a whole meal by including shredded veggies like carrots, cabbage and bean sprouts, and the way about some shredded chicken too?

Sesame Noodles

There truly aren’t that many noodle dishes that I do know which can be really higher served at room temperature relatively than heat. However that is considered one of them. Which makes this terrific for taking to gatherings or for work lunches.

OR as a facet dish that may be made properly prematurely of serving – one much less factor to warmth up whenever you’re able to serve a crowd, yay!

It’s terrifically versatile and might be served plain simply as I’ve proven it right here, or with add ins corresponding to extra greens and/and even shredded chicken to fill it out and make a whole meal!

Dressing for Sesame Noodles

The star of those Sesame Noodles is the dressing. It’s an Asian Sesame Peanut Dressing that’s wickedly scrumptious with the right steadiness of candy, bitter and salty.

Sure, the checklist of substances within the dressing is longer than my traditional dressings.

And sure, it’s completely price it. 🙂

Finest noodles for Sesame Noodles

I like making Sesame Noodles with contemporary relatively than dried noodles. I discover it really works higher as a result of they’re extra slippery than dried noodles so the sauce coats the noodles evenly and it doesn’t suck up the dressing as a lot.

Having mentioned that although, this Sesame Noodles recipe is terrific made with nearly any sort of noodles – contemporary or dried.

Add Ins!

I’ve shared these Sesame Noodles as a plain facet dish, however there’s sufficient dressing to load this up with veggies and even shredded chicken to show this right into a extra full meal.

Right here’s one instance – I added shredded chicken, shredded cabbage, carrots, bean sprouts and edamame to make this right into a meal:

Tips on how to serve Sesame Noodles

I often serve plain Sesame Noodles as a facet dish. It’s particularly nice on the facet of Asian meals (so nice for Asian BBQ’s!), however the Sesame Dressing shouldn’t be too “Asiany” so it’s going to even pair properly with Western mains, and even Caribbean, Hawaiian or Tropical themed meals.

Listed here are some concepts for Asian meals to serve alongside these noodles:

• Asian Marinated Chicken (grill or pan fry)

• Asian Chilli Garlic Prawns (Shrimp)

• Chinese language Crispy Pork Stomach

• Char Siu (Chinese language Barbecue Pork)

• Chinese language Lettuce Wraps (San Choy Bow)

• Potstickers (Chinese language Pan Fried Dumplings!) or Japanese GYOZA (Dumplings)

Ingredients

• 500 g / 1 lb fresh egg noodles (Note 1)
• 3/4 cup green onions , finely sliced (scallions)
• 1 tbsp sesame seeds, plus more for garnish
• 2 – 3 tbsp crushed peanuts, optional, plus more for garnish
• 1 ½ tbsp dark soy sauce (Note 2)
• 1 tbsp normal soy sauce (Note 2)
• 1 ½ tbsp rice vinegar
• 2 tbsp sesame oil
• 2 tsp fresh grated ginger
• 1 garlic clove minced
• 2 tsp white sugar
• 2 tbsp peanut butter
• 1 tbsp Chinese sesame paste or tahini (Note 3)
• 2 tsp garlic chilli paste, like Sambal Oelak, or Sriracha (adjust to taste) (Note 4)

Instructions

1. Cook noodles per packet directions. Drain then briefly rinse under tap to stop them sticking together.
2. Place Sauce ingredients in a bowl. Mix until smooth – microwave briefly if required to assist.
3. Place the noodles in a large bowl, add shallots, dressing, sesame seeds and peanuts if using. Toss well. Garnish with more sesame seeds. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

1. I use thin hokkien noodles from the refrigerator section of the supermarket i.e. fresh ones. Fresh is better than dried because they are more slippery, making them ideal to toss in this sort of dressing. Any fresh egg (yellow) noodles will be terrific for this Sesame Noodles. 
However, it will also work with dried noodles or other types of noodles (e.g. rice noodles, even ramen!) except I don’t recommend vermicelli / glass noodles (too thin).
2. You can substitute all the soy sauce with all purpose or light soy sauce, or any combination of these two without dark soy sauce. DO NOT use just dark soy sauce – it will dominate the flavour way too much!
3. Chinese Sesame Paste does taste slightly different to Tahini (the Middle Eastern sesame paste used in hummus) but in all honesty, I doubt that any normal person could tell the difference in this recipe. Even if you don’t have either, just sub with more peanut butter. The noodles will still haveterrific sesame flavour from the oil and seeds.
4. This is used mostly for a touch of spiciness so use any chilli sauce / paste that you want, or even some pepper or chilli flakes.
