Sesame Noodles

My husband brought this recipe home from work for sesame noodles and said “Make this gluten-free! It’s awesome!” It was super easy to convert – just use gluten-free noodles and soy sauce!

Ingredients

• 12 oz gluten free spaghetti (I like Bionaturae or Barilla)
• 3 oz cooking oil
• 3 tsp sesame oil
• 1 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (start with less unless you like it HOT)
• 4 1/2 Tbsp honey
• 3 oz gluten free soy sauce (I use Tamari)
• 6 Tbsp chopped green onions
• 3 Tbsp minced cilantro
• 4 1/2 Tbsp toasted sesame seeds (browned slightly in pan with no oil)
• 6 Tbsp chopped peanuts (roasted, but unsalted is best)

Directions

1. Cook and drain the spaghetti.
2. Heat oils and red pepper for 2 minutes, then add honey and soy sauce.  Pour onto and toss with the spaghetti.
3. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
4. When ready to serve, toss in the remaining ingredients. Serve cold.

Tips:  We tried these sesame noodles warm too.  They were good but we decided we like them better cold.  For other variations try adding snow peas, bell peppers, etc.  Add chopped, cooked chicken to make it a meal!

Also, if you don’t have one (or two!!) of these get one!  It’s great for converting recipes and cooking in general…
