Easy Sesame Noodles Recipe
I like this recipe because it is super easy to make, requires minimal prep work, and is highly versatile.
Sesame noodles can be enjoyed hot or cold as a main course or as a side dish and there are lots of ways to customize them. Experiment with different noodles. While linguine works well in this recipe, spaghetti, soba noodles, or even zucchini noodles for a low-carb option are all good choices. Try tossing in some Crispy Baked Tofu or adding veggies, such as chopped Garlic Bok Choy, thinly sliced bell peppers or snap peas. You get the idea.

How to Make Garlic Sesame Noodles
