This recipe is one of the most REFRESHING, healthy, and DELICIOUS summer noodles ever!
If you never tried Taiwanese 10 Minutes ONLY Traditional Cold Sesame Noodles, you need to give it a try this week. Quick, simple, and super easy to put together at home.
This Cold Sesame Noodles recipe is one of the best ways to get nutrients in your daily diet. I am making a vegetarian-friendly version, but you can also add any protein of your choices, such as ham and shredded chicken!
Cold Sesame Noodles are my favorite dish to eat in the summer.
Growing up in Taiwan, my mom would always make me this refreshing noodle dish after school, and it would instantly cool me down.
I love how you can add in anything because the sesame sauce goes well with EVERYTHING. I am paring mine with shredded cucumber, sliced carrots, and shredded egg today, but you can also add chicken, ham, bean sprouts, and sweet corn!
All you need to do to make the CREAMY sauce drizzled over cold sesame noodles is sesame paste, peanut butter, black vinegar, sugar, and a little dashi stock.
Dashi stocks give the sauce the umami depth flavor you find at street stalls; however, you can also use warm noodle water if you don’t have dashi stock. I use instant dashi powder stock, which is super convenient and affordable.
I love to pair my cold sesame noodles with my homemade chili oil to give the noodles an extra kick!
You can drizzle the chili oil on top, or mix it into the creamy sesame sauce. Depending on how well you can handle spice, I like to add around 1 tbsp of chili oil per serving.
