These 4 Ingredient Cold Sesame Noodles are super simple to make and packed with flavor. Cook your favorite noodles, toss them in a homemade sesame sauce, sprinkle with sesame seeds and fresh green onions. Serve it warm or cold, and feel free to add your favorite veggies or proteins.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the pasta according to package directions.
In a small bowl or mason jar, mix together the soy vay, sesame oil and sugar.
When pasta is cooked, drain it well, put into a large mixing bowl and then add to the sesame sauce mixture.
Toss the sauce and pasta thoroughly to coat, then cover and refrigerate for at least a few hours, up to 5 days. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onion just before serving if desired.
Notes
For the optional garnish:
Sesame Seeds: Toasted or plain, sesame seeds just give this dish a little something extra. They provide a nice additional texture and depth of flavor. Simply sprinkle them over the entire dish just before serving.
Chopped chives: Use kitchen shears to cut your chives up and then sprinkle over the tops of the sesame noodles. They add a nice touch of color and a sweet oniony flavor.
Like many pasta salads, this dish is a great make ahead recipe. Just be sure to mix it up before serving so the sesame dressing is well distributed.
