"I Stole the Idea from Mirj" Sesame Noodles

Submitted by Malriah

"I love Mirj's Funky Chicken with Sesame Noodles. I decided to use the noodles as my inspiration for this recipe. It's really similar but totally different. We liked it and I hope others will too! Cook time is the time it takes to make the pasta. *UPDATE* Since posting this, I tried adding about 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes and it turned out wonderfully so I decided to add it as a suggestion."

 

• Ready In: 18mins
• Ingredients: 8
• Serves: 4-6

ingredients

• 1 lb angel hair pasta
• 1⁄2 cup toasted sesame oil
• 1⁄3 cup soy sauce
• 1⁄3 cup honey
• 3 cloves garlic, minced fine
• 4 green onions, sliced
• 2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds
• 1 lb stir fry vegetables, steamed (I used broccoli, carrots, water chestnuts and red peppers)

directions

1. In a large pot, cook your angel hair pasta until almost al dente; drain well, put in a bowl and set aside.
2. In a small tupperware container with a lid, mix sesame oil, soy sauce, honey, garlic and sesame seeds.
3. Put the lid on the container and shake, shake, shake it like a polaroid picture.
4. Pour the sauce over the angel hair and toss well; the heat of the pasta will cook the garlic a bit so it won't be totally raw.
5. Mix in the green onions and stir fry veggies.
6. Serve.

Quick and impressive! I used only half lb of ww pasta and cut down the dressing to about 2/3. Sliced in yday's steak, and voila! Solid meal for 4 adults, unless one of them is my DH :)

What a great recipe! Incredibly easy and perfect compliment recipe#54114! I did cut back on the oil to 1/4 cup and don't feel it made any difference. Thanks for posting a great recipe!

My family and I loved this dish. Did not use the stir fry veggies (didn't have any). I served this as a side dish to a sesame crusted seared tuna (we were in sesame heaven, lol). YUMMY!

I used a bunch of left over Oriental flavor Ramen noodles and the flavor was fantastic! I will definitely be making this again but I think I will make this as a main dish next time adding some chicken marinated in the oil, soy sauce, honey, garlic, onion and sesame seeds before adding it to the noodles and veggies. Thanks!

I made this recipe with Bourbon Chicken last weekend. It was really good! I added a tablespoon of peanut butter to my sauce, to make more of a peanutty sauce. Next time I may not do that, everyone seemed to like it though! Thanks!! :)
