What kind of noodles do you use for sesame noodles?

You can use just about anything! Try soba, linguini, spaghetti, udon or ramen noodles.

Can I add vegetables to sesame noodles?

I like to keep these pretty simple and just add broccoli but you can also add mushroom, bell pepper, bok choy, snow peas, snap peas, cabbage, bean sprouts, zucchini, peas, edamame, or corn.

What can I serve with sesame noodles?

Sesame noodles are delicious on their own for a simple meal but you can add any protein you like such as tempeh, tofu, seitan, edamame or chickpeas. You could also serve with a side like spring rolls, green salad or summer rolls. I like to serve the noodles topped sesame seeds and thinly sliced scallions.

Are sesame noodles gluten-free?

They can be! Just be use to use a gluten-free noodle like rice noodles or gluten-free pasta noodles and gluten-free tamari or coconut aminos instead of soy sauce.
