Description

A quick and flavorful noodle dish, perfect for a weeknight meal or a casual lunch. The sesame dressing is irresistible!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 package Chinese Noodles
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium Soy Sauce
  • 2 Tbsp sugar
  • 4 cloves Garlic
  • 2 Tbsp Rice Vinegar
  • 3 Tbsp Pure Sesame Oil
  • 1/4 tsp Hot Chili Oil
  • 4 Tbsp Canola Oil
  • 2 scallions
  • 2 Tbsp sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add the Chinese noodles, and cook according to the package directions until just tender.
  2. While the noodles cook, whisk together the soy sauce, sugar, minced garlic, rice vinegar, sesame oil, chili oil, and canola oil in a bowl until the sugar dissolves and the dressing is well combined.
  3. Drain the noodles and shake off the excess water but do not rinse them; warm noodles absorb the dressing better.
  4. Pour the dressing over the warm noodles and toss thoroughly using tongs until every strand is coated.
  5. Transfer to a serving bowl or platter.
  6. Scatter the sliced scallions and sesame seeds over the top.
  7. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, toast the sesame seeds in a dry pan before adding them to the dressing.
  • If you prefer a sweeter dressing, increase the sugar to 3 tablespoons.
  • These noodles are best served immediately, but leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheated gently.
