Ingredients for Anne S Sesame Noodles
- 8 ounces pasta (spaghetti, linguine, or your favorite shape)
- Garlic Cloves
- Gingerroot
- 1/4 cup tahini
- Soy Sauce
- Toasted Sesame Oil
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion (or green onion)
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
How to Make Anne S Sesame Noodles
- Cook pasta according to package directions, but remove from heat 1-2 minutes before fully cooked (al dente). Drain, rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process, and drain again.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together tahini, soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Add 2 tablespoons of water, whisking constantly until smooth and creamy. Add more water, 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed to reach your desired consistency.
- Add the cooked pasta to the sauce and toss to coat evenly.
- Stir in the chopped cilantro and red onion.
- Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Add rice vinegar for extra tang if desired.
- Serve immediately or chill for later. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds before serving.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
