These sesame noodles are literally the easiest dinner I have ever made.  Start to finish, the noodles only took 10 minutes at most.  The longest part was just bringing the water to a boil.  These are cold sesame noodles and can easily be made ahead of time! Perfect for a summer picnic or just a easy weeknight meal!

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!
