Ingredients

Main

Creamy Sesame Sauce

Instructions

Prepare

  1. Cook noodles according to package directions.
  2. At the same time, in a large skillet (or wok) heat oil over medium heat. Add onion, garlic and ginger and the veggies of your choice. Saute, 3-4 minutes, turn heat down to low, and continue cooking until just tender.

Sauce & Serve

  1. At the same time, make the Creamy Sesame Sauce: Place all ingredients in a small bowl and whisk with fork until smooth. If it feels overly thick, thin with water. Taste and add more chili paste and salt and pepper to taste.
  2. Once the veggies are tender-crisp and the noodles are drained, toss them together along with the sauce, coating well. Serve warm.
  3. Garnish with microgreens, scallions, peanuts, or any other preferred toppings.

Notes
