Sesame noodles are a thing. Sesame noodles are many people\u2019s ride or die.<\/strong><\/p>\n

What\u2019s your go to order when you\u2019re getting Chinese take out? Mine is beef chow fun (OMG I love the heck out of that stuff) and Mike goes between black bean beef chow mein<\/a> and yang chow fried rice<\/a>. What we never ever order is sesame noodles. Don\u2019t get me wrong, I love sesame noodles. But I just never order them because, why? They\u2019re incredibly easy to make at home – it\u2019s literally faster than ordering takeout.<\/p>\n

The easiest noodles to make at home<\/h2>\n

Once you make your first bowl of homemade sesame noodles, I guarantee you won\u2019t be ordering them anymore. Slurpable strands of chewy noodles tossed in a creamy, nutty, savory, sweet sauce. SO GOOD. Plus, these are pretty much pantry noodles so you can make them any time, any where.<\/p>\n

Sesame noodles: not so spicy<\/h2>\n

These aren\u2019t the spicy kind of noodles by the way. If you\u2019re looking for those, you\u2019re probably wanting to make cheater\u2019s dan dan noodles<\/a>. These are a sweet and savory nutty noodle that everyone will love. There\u2019s creamy richness from the sesame paste, umami from the soy sauce, tang from the rice vinegar, a bit of bite from the raw garlic, and sweetness thanks to a bit of sugar.<\/p>\n

What noodles are these?<\/h2>\n

You can use any noodle you like or have on hand, but if you would like the ones in the picture, they are called Chinese knife sliced or knife cut noodles and you can get them at your local asian supermarket or online<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Happiness is a bowl of (sesame) noodles<\/h2>\n

These couldn\u2019t be simpler to make. I like mixing up the sauce right in the bowl I\u2019m going to eat it in, that way I have only one bowl to wash. Make it a big one so you have lots of room to toss your noodles, then slurp away. Happiness is a bowl full of noodles, am I right?<\/p>\n
