A quick and flavorful sesame noodle salad made with tender noodles, crisp vegetables, and a rich, nutty sesame dressing that can be served warm or cold.

Ingredients

  • 8 oz noodles (spaghetti, rice noodles, or soba)
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey or sugar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 3 green onions, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Cook the noodles according to package instructions.
  2. Drain and rinse the noodles under cold water to stop cooking and prevent sticking.

  4. In a large bowl, combine the cooked noodles, shredded carrots, cucumber, and green onions.
  5. Pour the dressing over the noodles and toss well to coat evenly.
  6. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top.
  7. Let the salad sit for a few minutes before serving to allow flavors to blend.
