Prep Time 3 minutes
Cook Time 7 minutes
Total Time 10 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 8.5 oz dried noodles 240g
  • 4 tbsp tahini
  • 2.5 tbsp lime juice about 1 lime
  • 3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1.5 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp Sriracha sauce
  • 1.5 tbsp brown sugar
  • 2-3 tbsp water to thin
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • ½ inch ginger 1 tsp grated
  • To serve
  • 2 green onions use the green parts only
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds

Method
 

  1. Put water on to boil for noodles. Measure and add tahini, lime juice, soy sauce, sesame oil, sriracha, and brown sugar to a small bowl or microwaveable container.
  2. Peel and finely grate ginger and measure 1 tsp and add to the sauce ingredients.
  3. Crush the garlic cloves and add to sauce ingredients.
  4. Stir sauce ingredients (they won't mix easily yet) and place in the microwave and heat on high for one minute.
  5. Add the noodles to the boiling water and set a timer for the minutes specified on the package.
  6. Take the sauce out of the microwave and whisk with a fork. It will be thick, add 2-3 tbsp water little by little to loosen until it's as thick as you wish.
  7. Finely chop the green parts of the green onions.
  8. When the noodles are done, drain and rinse well with cold water. Tap the strainer/colander to remove excess water and return to the pot and toss with the sauce and most of the green onion and sesame seeds (reserve some for garnish).
  9. To serve chilled, empty into a container with a lid and move to the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
  10. To serve warm, return to the stovetop until as warm as desired.
  11. Garnish and serve.

Notes

You can sub any chili garlic sauce for Sriracha, and the sweetener of choice for brown sugar.
Increase the Sriracha if you like it hot!
