Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your sesame noodles. Look for high-quality sesame oil, soy sauce, and rice vinegar.
  • Toast the sesame seeds: Toasting the sesame seeds before adding them to the noodles enhances their flavor and aroma.
  • Cook the noodles al dente: Al dente noodles have a slightly firm bite and will hold up well in the sauce.
  • Use a good quality protein: Chicken, shrimp, or tofu are all good options for this dish. Make sure to cook the protein thoroughly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the protein and vegetables, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the ingredients from cooking evenly.
  • Make the sauce ahead of time: The sauce for this dish can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator. This makes it a great option for meal prep.
  • Serve immediately: Sesame noodles are best served immediately. The noodles will start to absorb the sauce and become soggy if they sit for too long.
