Ingredients

  • 190 grams wide and flat dried noodles see note 1
  • 3 tbsp cooked sesame paste see note 2
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp chili crisp oil
  • 1 tsp Chinese black vinegar see note 3
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tbsp chicken broth
  • 2-3 stalk green onions chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  • Make the Sauce. In a large bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame paste, Chinese wine, sesame oil, chili crisp oil, brown sugar and garlic powder. Stir well until smooth.
  • Cook the Noodles. Bring a pot of water enough to cover the noodles to a boil. Add the dried noodles, lower heat and allow to simmer for 2-3 minutes or until tender and separated. Drain.
  • Toss and Serve. Add the noodles to the bowl with the sauce and stir and toss until the noodles are all coated in sauce. If the sauce is too dry, add some chicken broth, 1-2 teaspoons at a time and stir. Serve the noodles immediately.
  • This sesame noodles will be sticky and clumpy as it cools so it is best served right away. If you have leftovers, moisten the noodles with a drizzle of sesame oil and chicken broth, then heat the noodles up in the microwave.

Notes

  1. Wide and Flat Noodles. I used ramen noodles that are wide and flat. You can also use the No Yolk brand noodles as those are similar in shape.
  2. Sesame Paste. This is not the same as tahini. Sesame paste has a deep, bolder flavor and this is what I used in the recipe. It is often labelled as cooked sesame paste.
  3. Chinese Black Vinegar. Found in Asian aisle. It is deep in color, and has a slight sweet flavor. If you cannot find this, you can skip or replace with red wine vinegar.
