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

Instructions
 

  • 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.
  • Peel and finely grate ginger and measure 1 tsp and add to the sauce ingredients.
  • Crush the garlic cloves and add to sauce ingredients.
  • Stir sauce ingredients (they won't mix easily yet) and place in the microwave and heat on high for one minute.
  • Add the noodles to the boiling water and set a timer for the minutes specified on the package.
  • 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.
  • Finely chop the green parts of the green onions.
  • 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).
  • To serve chilled, empty into a container with a lid and move to the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
  • To serve warm, return to the stovetop until as warm as desired.
  • 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!
