Tips

This Sesame Noodle recipe is made best using angel hair pasta or other thin spaghetti . You can use regular spaghetti or a thicker noodle, but the flavor will be less as the thicker noodle will over-power the sauce.

If you like a little more spice, feel free to add another 1/2 tsp chili oil to heat things up!

For a balanced meal, serve with baked tofu (recipe 👇) and a side of sautéed, roasted or steamed veggies (Bok Choy, Napa Cabbage, and broccolini are my favorite).
