Wait until you make these noodles. If you love Noodlehead like me, you might be craving a good bowl of noodles weekly. Recently, I discovered this Tahini Noodle recipe and adapted it from Ambitious Kitchen. These noodles are very delicious and you are definitely going to want to add the recipe to your list. I like to add a variety of veggies and choose what is in my fridge. I recommend broccoli, onions, and peppers, but you can customize the flavor with your veggie preference.What You’ll Need:

• 3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce or liquid aminos
• ¼ cup tahini
• 2-3 tbsp honey
• ½ tbsp rice vinegar
• ½ tbsp grated ginger (or ground)
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1-2 tbsp hot chili paste
• 3-4 tbsp water
• 1 tbsp sesame oil
• ~4 cups broccoli
• 1 red pepper, diced
• ½ onion, diced
• ¼ cup shelled edamame
• 10 oz rice or egg noodles
• Sesame seeds to serve + red pepper flakes if you love spice

What To Do:

1. Boil a pot of water to prepare for noodles.
2. While water is boiling, make sauce by adding the following to a medium bowl: soy sauce, tahini, honey, rice vinegar, ginger, garlic, hot chili paste, and water.
3. Sauté onions in sesame oil on medium low heat, then add broccoli, red pepper, and edamame. Cook until vegetables are bright and softened (about 7 mins).
4. Cook noodles according to package directions.
5. Toss the noodles in sauce and add vegetables. Add the sesame seeds and red pepper flakes as a garnish.
6. Serve + enjoy!
