TAKEOUT-STYLE SESAME NOODLES



Takeout-Style Sesame Noodles image

Noodles dressed with sesame are popular in many parts of China, but this particular style, made with peanut butter and served cold, became a Chinese-American staple in the United States in the 1970s. The family of Shorty Tang - an ambitious restaurateur who emigrated from Sichuan to Taipei to New York - firmly believes that he invented the dish and still serve it at Hwa Yuan, the restaurant he opened in 1967 in Manhattan's Chinatown. They have never divulged the exact recipe; this is our own lush but refreshing version.

SESAME NOODLE SALAD



Sesame Noodle Salad image

This amazing salad recipe was given to me by a friend who used to know someone at the now closed Larry's Markets in the Seattle area. I've added to the recipe a little -- so it's not exactly the same... but better! I take this to every picnic and everyone loves it! May also add diced chicken for a variation.

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (16 ounce) package angel hair pasta
½ cup sesame oil
½ cup soy sauce
¼ cup balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon hot chili oil
¼ cup white sugar
1 teaspoon sesame seeds, or more if desired

Steps:

Tips:

  • Choose the right noodles: Asian sesame noodles are typically made with thin, wheat-based noodles such as ramen or soba noodles. You can also use rice noodles or any other type of noodle that you prefer.
  • Cook the noodles according to the package directions: Be sure to cook the noodles until they are al dente, or slightly firm to the bite.
  • Make the sesame sauce ahead of time: The sesame sauce can be made up to 3 days in advance. This will save you time when you're ready to assemble the dish.
  • Use fresh vegetables: Fresh vegetables will give your Asian sesame noodles the best flavor. Be sure to wash and chop the vegetables before you start cooking.
  • Add protein, if desired: You can add protein to your Asian sesame noodles by stir-frying chicken, shrimp, or tofu. This is a great way to make a complete meal.
  • Serve immediately: Asian sesame noodles are best served immediately after they are made. The noodles will start to absorb the sauce over time, which will make them mushy.

Conclusion:

Asian sesame noodles are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and satisfying meal that is perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. So next time you're looking for a tasty and healthy meal, be sure to give Asian sesame noodles a try!
