Tips on sesame noodles recipe
- Can these noodles be served warm? Yes! Personally, I was a bigger fan of them cold but they were pretty good warm too.
- Do these noodles save well? Yes, they were even better the next day since the sauce had soaked into the noodles.
- You can really use any type of noodle you have on hand, the noodles picture were actually spicy sesame fettuccine noodles. I went with those because I thought the flavor would complement the sauce well but ramen, soba, and spaghetti noodles are all perfect in this!
