Sesame Cold Noodles

Prep Time: 10m | Cook Time: 10m | Servings: 1

Ingredients

• 5 tbsp Chinese sesame paste (it should be quite runny! - if its not runny and is thick use less)
• 1 tbsp peanut butter
• 2 tbsp light soy sauce, use gluten-free if needed
• 2 tbsp sesame oil
• 2 tbsp sugar
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp msg
• 2 tbsp water
• 2 cloves minced garlic
• 2 tsp grated ginger
• 2 tbsp rice vinegar
• 400g wheat noodles or 450g rice noodles (I like Cheung fun sheets)
• 1 cucumber
• Spring onion
• Coriander
• Toastes sesame seeds
• Chili oil

Instructions

1. Mix all sauce ingredients in a bowl until smooth and well combined. If your sesame paste is thick, thin it out with extra water until pourable.
2. Peel and julienne the cucumber or cut into matchsticks. Finely chop the spring onion and roughly chop some coriander.
3. Cook your noodles according to the packet instructions:
4. For 400g uncooked fresh wheat noodles: boil, rinse with cold water, then toss with sesame oil.
5. For 450g fresh rice noodles (like cheung fun sheets): steam to loosen, then toss with sesame oil.
6. Any noodles work - just cook, cool, and sauce them up as you like.
7. Pour as much or as little sauce over the noodles as you desire. Toss well to combine.
8. Top with julienned cucumber, spring onion, coriander, toasted sesame seeds and a spoonful of chilli oil. Serve immediately and devour!
