Vegan Sesame Noodles with Tahini Sauce

Ingredients

• 1 pound Lo Mein Noodles
• 1/4 cup Tahini
• 3 tablespoons Soy Sauce (low sodium)
• 2 tablespoons Rice Vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Maple Syrup
• 1 tablespoon Sesame Oil
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 teaspoon Ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 2 Scallions
• 1 tablespoon Sesame Seeds
• 1 cup Shredded Carrots

Instructions

1. 1Bring a large heavy-bottomed pot of water to a rolling boil. Add the 1 pound of Lo Mein Noodles and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until tender but still slightly firm to the bite. Drain the noodles well and set them aside.
2. 2While the noodles are cooking, prepare the sauce. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the 1/4 cup Tahini, 3 tablespoons Soy Sauce (low sodium), 2 tablespoons Rice Vinegar, 1 tablespoon Maple Syrup, 1 tablespoon Sesame Oil, 2 cloves Garlic (finely minced), 1 teaspoon Ginger (finely grated), and 1/4 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes.
3. 3Add the 2 tablespoons of Water to the sauce mixture. Whisk everything together vigorously until the sauce is smooth and well combined. If the sauce seems too thick, add another teaspoon of water and whisk again.
4. 4Add the drained 1 pound of Lo Mein Noodles to the bowl with the tahini sauce. Use tongs to toss the noodles thoroughly, ensuring each strand is evenly coated with the rich sauce.
5. 5Transfer the sauced noodles to serving bowls. Top each serving with the 1 cup of Shredded Carrots, the 2 Scallions (thinly sliced), and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of Sesame Seeds.
6. 6Serve the Vegan Sesame Noodles immediately.
