"My sis and me came up with this tasty asian inspired recipe ourselves one day when wanting to use up some rice noodles. Its a rather quick to make and easy dish, which we think tastes fabulous. Plus the tahini sauce and the veggies make it super healthy."

I'm also a big fan of this style of dish, especially for a quick weeknight meal. They're easy to play around with based on what you have on hand. It was nice to use tahini for a change from peanut butter. I felt the amount of tahini was perfect - I skimped on the sesame oil and wish I hadn't now. The only thing missing for me was more saltiness, soy flavour, so I added Braggs. I also stirred up the tahini with the water, more water than called for. I think another great addition (not with Braggs tho), might be lemon juice and garlic. Thanks Loula!

These kinds of dishes are among my favorite: Asian-style noodles! As written, for flavor, I would rate this a 3-star recipe; with the addition of Sriracha hot chili sauce and a little chili sambal tossed in, it's a definite 4-star recipe that I love and will make often for lunch. Some chopped cilantro would be very nice in this. Thanks, Lalaloula! Made for TYM tag game.

This one has potential but I think the proportions are a bit off. For 250G of noodles I had to really pour on the tahini to be able to detect its flavor. I think it might be nice with cilantro too.
