Sesame Noodles

How to make Sesame Noodles

With just a few ingredients, these noodles are the perfect balance of sweet, spicy, salty and tangy!

The medley of Asian flavors serves double duty – first as a marinade for the steak and second as a sauce for the noodles.

The star of the show is pure toasted sesame oil.

The absolute best brand is this Japanese Kadoya Sesame Oil. Highly recommend getting your hands on some!

Custom Sesame Noodles

I think the sesame dressing is perfect as is, but it’s incredibly easy to customize to your taste.

For example:

• Use less hot sauce if you don’t like spicy food
• Add more garlic if your family is garlic lovers
• Substitute honey for sugar for a stickier sauce

Keep in mind the steak should marinate for at least 30 minutes for maximum flavor.

If you don’t have the time, simply cook the steak and add extra sauce on top.

For the beef you can use sirloin steak or another cut such as flank steak.

You can also substitute another meat such as chicken or pork if you want, or add vegetables for some added nutrients/vegan option.

Shredded carrots, cabbage or broccoli would be tasty additions.

The sesame noodles are so good I don’t even need the meat!

To make things easy, I use thin spaghetti noodles. 

Thin linguini will also do.

If you have Asian ingredients readily available in your area you can use authentic wheat noodles.

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, sugars, chili sauce and black pepper. Taste and adjust ingredients to your liking.
