Sesame Noodles

Chef #849343's Note:

This is a great "base" to add in vegetables such as chopped snap peas, julienned red pepper, shredded squash, spinach, grilled chicken or anything you have left in the fridge. It can also be spiced up with a shake or two of dried red pepper flakes.

Very nice recipe and easy! I was nervous making it for the first time for guests but it came out well. I didn't use as much oil and added spinach, bean sprouts and cooked chicken right at the end. Great warm or cold!

This was a simple and easy recipe that went great with our Asian themed meal. I used chinese noodles and omitted the onion and cilantro. I added steamed carrots and green beans....fantastic flavor!
