How to Make Noodles In Sesame Sauce

  1. Cook 8 ounces of noodles (fresh or dried) according to package directions until al dente.
  2. Drain noodles and rinse under cold water until completely cool. Drain well.
  3. Lightly toss noodles with 1 teaspoon of vegetable, peanut, or sesame oil to prevent sticking.
  4. **Prepare the Sauce:** Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a small skillet over medium heat.
  5. Add 1/2 cup chopped onion, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 tablespoon minced ginger, and 1-2 small finely chopped chili peppers (adjust to your spice preference). Sauté until garlic is softened but not browned (about 3-5 minutes).
  6. Remove from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 3 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sugar, 2 tablespoons sesame paste, and 1/4 cup chicken broth.
  7. Return skillet to medium-low heat and simmer the sauce, stirring frequently, for 2 minutes until slightly thickened.
  8. Stir in 1 teaspoon sesame oil.
  9. Let the sauce cool to room temperature.
  10. Pour the cooled sauce over the chilled noodles and toss gently to combine.
  11. Serve immediately on a platter, garnished with 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro, and your choice of julienned vegetables (e.g., carrots, bell peppers, 1/4 cup total).
