Chinese Sesame Noodles

Chinese Sesame Noodles

It’s been hot this summer, and I’ve been making these Chinese Sesame Noodles on repeat. They’re perfect at room temperature, with a creamy sesame sauce that clings to every noodle and just enough spice to wake everything up. My cravings for this dish aren’t limited to summer, though. I’ll happily have these for lunch or dinner all year long. And after your first bite, I think you’ll feel the same!
