Easy Sesame Noodles

Sesame noodles originates from northern China cuisine and is loved especially by people living in Beijing. When I studied for my undergraduate degree there, there is a small diner owned by a couple in their 50’s who made the best sesame cold noodles right outside of our university.

As a reminder of the good old days when me and my friends used to go to that diner for this dish. I have decided to make this sesame cold noodles dish at home today. I felt like you guys would be interested in how to make this as well because it’s super tasty, incredibly easy-to-make and also very budget-friendly!

The sesame sauce is the key to this dish. It’s made by mixing together sesame paste, soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, rice vinegar and water in a container. If you like it spicy, add a little bit of Sriracha!

Sesame paste is made from ground sesame seeds. It’s a healthier alternative to peanut butter and people are less likely to have allergic reaction to it. (This is the type of sesame paste I am currently using, could be replaced with tahini sauce as well)

Before digging in, simply mix everything well with a pair of chopsticks and you’re all set! I spent only less than 10 minutes to make this dish today. While this dish is normally served as an appetizer, I think it’s a great choice for a quick breakfast as well!

I hope you enjoy making this easy sesame noodle at home. If you like this recipe, please leave a rating and share it with your friends!
