  • Author: Olivia
  • Total Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

– 8 ounces of spaghetti or other noodles
– ¼ cup peanut butter (or tahini for a nut-free version)
– ¼ cup soy sauce
– 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
– 2 tablespoons sesame oil
– 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
– 1 tablespoon grated ginger
– 1 garlic clove, minced
– ¼ cup water (more if needed for consistency)
– 2 green onions, sliced
– 1 carrot, julienned
– 1 cucumber, julienned
– Sesame seeds for garnish
– Fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional)


Instructions

Creating Cold Sesame Noodles is straightforward when you follow these easy steps:

1. Cook the Noodles: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain the noodles and rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking process.

2. Prepare the Sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey (or maple syrup), grated ginger, minced garlic, and water. Whisk until smooth and creamy. If the sauce is too thick, add more water until you reach your desired consistency.

3. Combine Noodles and Sauce: In a large mixing bowl, add the cooked noodles and pour the sauce over them. Toss until the noodles are evenly coated.

4. Add Vegetables: Gently fold in the sliced green onions, julienned carrot, and cucumber into the noodles. Ensure all ingredients are mixed well.

5. Serve: Divide the Cold Sesame Noodles into serving bowls. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top and add fresh cilantro if desired.

6. Chill (Optional): For an even cooler dish, you can refrigerate the noodles for 30 minutes before serving. This step maximizes flavor and refreshing satisfaction.
