Sesame Noodles

This is one of the things that Hubby requests that I make frequently. He just loves it for some reason. Princess does too but not The Boy. It’s easy and heck, a little different than normal.


1 lb box of spaghetti (thin or angel hair if you have, regular will work)
2 tbs sesame oil
½ cup soy sauce, preferably low sodium
¼ cup rice wine vinegar
2 tbs sugar
Handful fresh cilantro, ripped up
1 tbs ginger, grated (I discovered the stuff in the tube)
1 tsp chili oil (or again, the stuff in the tube!)
3 green onions, sliced
Handful (1 cup) pea pods, sliced in bite size pieces
Toasted sesame seeds

Cook pasta til al dente. Drain OVER the pea pods and rinse with cold water. Mix together sesame oil, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, sugar, cilantro, ginger & hot chili oil in large bowl. Dump noodles with pods and toss to coat all. Add green onions and toss more. Chill til sauce is absorbed by noodles.

Ok, this is soooo easy to modify. You can add red pepper slices, carrot shreds, small broccoli, just about anything you want to make this more to your taste! Yummmmm
