Sesame Noodle Salad

This is the best tasting sesame noodles! I've been looking for a recipe that was like the noodles in a chinese restaurant, and now I've found it! Oh my gosh these are really Excellent. The only thing I did different was to serve it warm (although its good cold to) and I slightly thickened the sauce with just a little cornstarch, so the sauce would stick to the noodles a little better. Thanks so much mandabears for posting this wonderful recipe.

This is quick and delicious, and what I love is that it can be mad ahead. I added finely diced fresh tomatoes to it as well. To prepared ahead, I cooked the linguine, added scallions, and refrigerated. I added a bit of sesame oil to this to keep it moist and covered it with saran wrap. Prepare the sauce and refrigerate until ready to mix and serve!

I love this stuff!! I've been wanting to make something like this for awhile and finally had all ingredients on hand. Easy to mix up and such an intense fantastic sesame flavor! I used thin spaghetti (the kind that's part whole wheat) and I added a can of sliced water chestnuts and 8 oz of fresh bean sprouts, blanced for about a minute. The only thing I didn't add was green onions, since I didn't have those and don't like much onion flavor anyway. I can't stay out of these noodles and will definitely be making them again. Yum!

I love seasame seeds and was expecting to really enjoy this dish, but I am sorry to say that was not the case. This was the first time I have ever used seasame oil. We found it's flavor too strong for us in this dish. I think that it may just have been too much of it in this dish. Because we also found it to be too oily as well.
