Garlicky rice noodles tossed in sesame oil sauce, topped with toasted sesame seeds, this recipe comes together in ten minutes and is perfect for a quick meal.
One question that I’m asked very often is that how do I manage to create recipes inspite of having a full time job? The simple answer: majority recipes on this blog are so simple! The recipes posted on the blog are tested over the week (after I return from work) and then shot on the weekend. Which means, I get five full dinner chances to test my recipes & most of them are so easy. After a full day at work, I like making easy meals for dinner & these sesame rice noodles are made at least once a week!
What I also make most often post work is this yummy soupy thai red curry rice noodle bowl or this delicious recipe for vegetarian pad thai noodles (rice noodles) with shiitake... my go to dinner recipe. Does this also tell you that I looooove rice noodles? Lets talk about that... The best part about rice noodles (apart from the fact that they’re made of rice!) is that they cook so quickly! For this easy sesame rice noodles recipe, the time taken to assemble and mix up the sauces was equal to the cook time of the rice noodles: really just ten minutes.
These sesame rice noodles have a delicious flavour of soy sauce, sesame oil & vinegar PLUS they are topped with some toasted sesame seeds. So yummy! You know how I love sesame seeds right, I use them over all of my puff pastry recipes & in case you still need to understand better, do check out my posts for baby corn salt and pepper or this delicious pan fried noodles recipe.
