Pioneer Woman's Simple Sesame Noodles

There is an error in the recipe compared to Pioneer Woman's website. She indicates a dark, or Chinese or Asian sesame seed oil which is not the same as 'pure sesame oil". It's a much more highly flavored oil, and if you make the recipe without it you get such a difference. <br/>I made this recipe 1/2 a dozen times for my large family, doubling it. We love the recipe as is, with the exception of eliminating the chili peppers, because my children are young. It gets 5* here! To make it a main dish, we add steamed broccoli and leftover sliced grilled chicken breast.

Myself and my 14 year old son love these noodles. I use buckwheat asian noodles. Instead of canola oil, I use extra virgin olive oil. I add julienned carrots, broccoli, and marinated chicken in an asian marinade consisting of: soy sauce, garlic, honey, ginger, & sesame oil. I always double the noodles and still I never seem to make enough before my son devours it. Definitely a favorite.

Good, if a little less flavourful than I'd like. I'd like to try adding some oyster sauce and making it with chow mein noodles.

Yum!!!

This is a great basic recipe. You can add chicken, beef, pork or seafood. I add broccoli but peas and carrots are good too. I also toast a few sesame seeds and either put in or sprinkle on top. This is a fantastic make ahead meal. Also gives flavors a chance to marry and soak into noodles and meat.
