    Need a quick dinner? In less time than it takes for you to cook up some pasta, you can mix up an easy asian-inspired, sesame sauce. 15-Minute Sesame Noodles are easy to make, excellent served alone, paired with a protein, or served cold for meal prep.

    How to Make Sesame Noodles

    Ingredients You'll Need for Sesame Noodles:

    • Noodles of your choice. I used linguini.
    • Soy Sauce - I used Low Sodium
    • Honey - adds a touch of sweetness to cut the spice
    • Rice Vinegar
    • Sesame Oil
    • Chili Garlic Sauce - to add a kick
    • Garlic
    • Ginger powder
    • Sesame Seeds
    • Green Onions
    Sesame sauce made from soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, and chili garlic sauce

    Recipe Steps:

    Just a few simple steps! Once the water is boiling, these sesame noodles take 15 minutes or less to make.

    1. Cook the noodles.
    2. While the noodles are cooking, mix up the easy sesame sauce
    3. Toss the noodles with the sauce.
    4. Enjoy!

    Recipe Tips and FAQs:

    What kind of noodles should be used?

    Pictured is using regular linguini noodles - you can also use spaghetti noodles.

    Or if you have Asian noodles on hand, that’s great! Such as rice noodles, ramen noodles, udon noodles, or soba noodles.

    How many servings does this make?

    This recipe makes 1lb. of noodles so as a main course, this serves 4-6.

    But if you’re serving the sesame noodles as a side, then the recipe can be stretched to serve 6-8 people.

    Serve warm or cold!

    I love these sesame noodles warm right after cooking. But they are a great option eaten cold from the fridge as meal prep.

    What can be served with sesame noodles?

    They’re a great option with any stir fry recipe  - like this Cashew Veggie Stir Fry or Korean Beef Stir Fry.

    Serve with a protein! Adding chicken, beef, pork, or shrimp is a great option. Or I also love making another asian-inspired recipe such as Cashew Chicken, Orange Chicken, Slow Cooker Korean Beef, or Sesame Chicken.

    • Author: Kathleen
    • Prep Time: 5 minutes
    • Cook Time: 15 minutes
    • Total Time: 20 minutes
    • Yield: 6 servings
    • Category: Main Dish
    • Method: Stove
    • Cuisine: Asian
    • Diet: Vegetarian

    Ingredients

    • 1 lb. uncooked noodles, such as linguini
    • ⅓ cup low sodium soy sauce
    • 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
    • 3 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
    • 1 tablespoon honey
    • 1 tablespoon ground ginger
    • ½-1 teaspoon chili garlic sauce, depending on spice preference
    • 1 tablespoons minced garlic
    • ¼-½ teaspoon ground black pepper
    • ½ cup thinly sliced green onions
    • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, for topping

    Instructions

    1. Cook Pasta. Cook pasta according to package directions in a large pot of salted boiling water.
    2. Mix Sauce. While the pasta is cooking, mix up the sauce. Mix all other ingredients except for the green onions and sesame seeds. I like to use the same bowl I will be tossing and serving the noodles in.
    3. Toss Hot Pasta with Sauce. Once the noodles are cooked, drain them and immediately toss with the sauce. Sprinkle in the green onions and toss one more time.
    4. Serve and Enjoy. Sprinkle some sesame seeds on top, if using. Serve warm or cold. 

    Notes

    Leftovers can be kept in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 4 days.
