Cold Chili Sesame Noodles

• servings: 2 servings
• total time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

8 oz Wheat noodles, ramen or thin wheat noodles

3 tbsp Tahini

2 tbsp Soy Sauce

1 tbsp Chili oil

1 tbsp Rice vinegar

1 tsp Sesame oil

1 tsp Sugar

1 garlic, clove, finely grated

1-2 tbsp water, cold, to loosen

Scallions, thinly ribboned

Toasted sesame seeds

Chili oil, heavy drizzle

Red chili, fresh, thinly sliced, optional

Directions

Boil noodles according to package. Drain and immediately rinse under cold running water or rest in an ice bath until completely cold.

Whisk together tahini, soy sauce, chili oil, rice vinegar, sesame oil, sugar, and garlic. Add cold water one tablespoon at a time until the sauce is smooth and pourable. It should coat a spoon but not be gluey.

Add noodles to the sauce and toss until every strand is fully coated. The sauce should cling heavily and look dark and glossy.

Finish with ribboned scallions, sesame seeds, and a heavy chili oil drizzle that pools around the base.
