Dairy-Free Sesame Noodles

Ingredients

• 1 pound Dried noodles
• 1/4 cup Sesame paste
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 teaspoon Chili oil
• 2 tablespoons Scallions
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds

Instructions

1. 1Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Add the 1 pound of dried noodles and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, or until tender but still firm to the bite. Drain the noodles immediately and rinse them thoroughly under cold running water to stop the cooking and remove excess starch. Set aside.
2. 2While the noodles are cooking, prepare the sauce. In a medium bowl, combine the 1/4 cup of sesame paste, 3 tablespoons of soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, 2 cloves of minced garlic, and 1 teaspoon of chili oil. Whisk all the ingredients together until the sauce is smooth and well combined.
3. 3Add the drained and rinsed noodles to a large bowl. Pour the prepared sauce over the noodles.
4. 4Using tongs or two forks, toss the noodles gently to ensure every strand is evenly coated with the sauce. Make sure no dry spots remain.
5. 5Garnish the sesame noodles with the 2 tablespoons of chopped scallions and 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds.
6. 6Serve the dairy-free sesame noodles chilled. They are best enjoyed cold.
