Quick and Easy Sesame Noodles

Making these Easy Sesame Noodles

I have had this recipe for Sesame Noodles bookmarked for a few weeks now. They looked so fresh and easy, great for a school night dinner when our schedules are a bit more rushed. I finally got around to making it last week, which was timely because I had a bottle of Nakano Red Pepper Rice Vinegar to taste and this was a perfect recipe to test it out in.

I normally buy plain Rice Vinegar, so it was a nice change to use something more flavored. I liked the little bit of zip the Red Pepper flavor added to the Sesame Noodles and it make making the dressing that much quicker.

Why You’ll Love this Sesame Noodle Recipe

You definitely have to try these Sesame Noodles! It is such a fast meal to prepare!

I made them late in the afternoon and kept them in the refrigerator while I went to pick Logan up from school and until it was dinner time. The whole recipe, photography, and clean up took about 30 minutes.

I did buy pre-cut matchstick carrots (they were on sale) and that did make it a little easier. I’m glad to have another fast recipe for crazy school nights!

If you’re willing to put a little more effort into it, I have a hunch that this Lemongrass Shrimp would be delicious tossed in.
