I made this easy bu elegant weeknight recipe often. The noodles have a wonderful citrus tang with a hint of basil and a bit of crunch form the toasted sesame seeds.

This recipe is a great starting point, but I think it could be improved with some additional spices.

I didn't have any sesame seeds, so I used chopped peanuts instead.

I'm not a big fan of sesame seeds, so I omitted them from the recipe. The dish was still delicious.

I used a variety of citrus fruits, including oranges, grapefruits, and lemons. The combination of flavors was amazing!
