These Hot or Cold Sesame Noodles are such a quick and easy dinner. They’re also a great make ahead dish for lunch or a picnic. I will be eating them both ways, possibly daily, for the foreseeable future. Whatever you choose to do with them is up to you. Just make them. They are yummy!
The sauce for these noodles comes together in no time at all and I’ve used pre-cut coleslaw mix and fresh noodles that cook in a flash to speed things up even more. Pretty nice to know you’re only 10 minutes away from a big bowl of noods isn’t it??
You can add tofu or pretty much any grilled meat to this. Or do what I do and count the sesame part as protein. 😉
