Pioneer Woman's Simple Sesame Noodles

Submitted by SashasMommy

"I served this with grilled Garlic Peppercorn steak (McCormick Grillmates) and raw cucumber. The coolness of the cucumber was so refreshing with these spicy dishes! We used 1 tsp of the hot chili oil. Note that there is no error in the recipe, as one reviewer states. If you look at the blog post about Simple Sesame Noodles on Pioneer Woman's website, it does indeed say pure sesame oil, with a photo of the pure sesame oil bottle."

There is an error in the recipe compared to Pioneer Woman's website. She indicates a dark, or Chinese or Asian sesame seed oil which is not the same as 'pure sesame oil". It's a much more highly flavored oil, and if you make the recipe without it you get such a difference. <br/>I made this recipe 1/2 a dozen times for my large family, doubling it. We love the recipe as is, with the exception of eliminating the chili peppers, because my children are young. It gets 5* here! To make it a main dish, we add steamed broccoli and leftover sliced grilled chicken breast.

Myself and my 14 year old son love these noodles. I use buckwheat asian noodles. Instead of canola oil, I use extra virgin olive oil. I add julienned carrots, broccoli, and marinated chicken in an asian marinade consisting of: soy sauce, garlic, honey, ginger, & sesame oil. I always double the noodles and still I never seem to make enough before my son devours it. Definitely a favorite.

This is a great basic recipe. You can add chicken, beef, pork or seafood. I add broccoli but peas and carrots are good too. I also toast a few sesame seeds and either put in or sprinkle on top. This is a fantastic make ahead meal. Also gives flavors a chance to marry and soak into noodles and meat.

Good, if a little less flavourful than I'd like. I'd like to try adding some oyster sauce and making it with chow mein noodles.
