The beauty of these noodles is that no matter how lazy I’m feeling or how messy the kitchen is, I can always talk myself into taking 10 minutes to whip them up. Seriously, that’s about all the time you need to make this happen. Throw some noodles into a pot of boiling water and while they cook, make the sauce by whisking together just a handful of ingredients you probably have in your pantry. Drain the noodles, toss them with the sauce and serve!
Despite the simplicity, these sesame noodles are full of flavor. An added bonus is that they’re as good at room temperature as they are warm. I’ve even had success reheating leftovers in the microwave.

Ingredients:
- 12 oz noodles
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 4 garlic cloves, minced

- 3 tablespoons sesame oil

Directions:
Cook the noodles in a large pot of boiling salted water according to the package instructions.
Meanwhile, in a large heatproof bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sugar, garlic, rice vinegar, sesame oil, chili oil, and canola oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
When the noodles have finished cooking, drain them, then add them to the bowl with the sauce. Toss until all of the noodles are coated. Add the scallions (reserving a few for garnish) and toss again. Divide amongst your serving bowls, garnish with a few scallions and serve.
