Elise's Sesame Noodles

Great flavor and super easy! I added shredded carrots, which was a wonderful addition. Will definitely make this again!

simple but good In addition to the garlic and ginger, I added a touch of honey and lime juice (as well as the rice wine vinegar) to the dressing as I found it a bit unbalanced. Also a thinly sliced red chili pepper added a bit extra zing. Hubby liked it and it will go on the rotation. Pros: clean taste, easy to prepare

I Liked It...but would make some changes. The only thing I did differently the first time around was boiled the snow peas for maybe two minutes. Then I drained them and ran them under cold water. I don't like mine raw. Next time I would give the noodles longer to drain so that they don't water down the dressing. I would use more scallions as well. I thought it was tasty but I might try adding the ginger and garlic to the dressing someone else suggested. Pros: Perfect summer salad. Light, cold, and tasty Cons: Prep was not as easy as I thought and will be longer with my changes. Lots of chopping.

Great but very spicy I really liked this recipe. I changed it up a bit by adding 1 tablespoon lime juice and 1 tablespoon rice vinegar in place of the 2 tablespoons of rice-wine vinegar (which I didn't have), frying up 2 cloves of garlic until fragrant then adding the veggies in a little sesame oil and soy sauce and frying until tender and serving everything warm. It turned out very yummy but *very* spicy. I love spicy but this was a bit too much for even me. I would at least half the amount of crushed red pepper if you're not into very spicy food.

I'm quite picky when it comes to Asian cooking. I lived in Hawaii for years, and I suppose I have a biased palate. This did not live up to my expectations. It was good, but not delicious. We also cannot have anything with wheat, so I used rice noodles, like many Asian places do. The noodles cooked perfect, but I think the dish needed just a little something else. Not sure what cuz I'm not a professional chef. :)

Loved this dish. I added some chicken and peanuts as well. Very tasty!

My husband had three bowls, so I guess that says it all! :) I didn't find the sauce to be too salty, at all, but made a bit more to better coat the noodles. I had a partial bag of cole slaw in the fridge, bamboo shoots, and black mushrooms that I sauteed a bit in sesame oil and added to the mix. Delicious!

This was very good. Made great lunch for a few days. I added mung bean sprouts and then ligthly stir fried the sauce and vegetables with chicken. I then tossed sauce with the noodles. Yummy! I like my food spicy and a little sweet, so I will add more chili flakes and a touch of brown sugar next time.

I liked this recipe but I will make some changes next time. First, I served it warm. That was tasty. The spaghetti was ok, I might use a different pasta or somehow mix it differently next time. The spaghetti kind of rolled altogether and stayed all together, so I thought with different pasta it would look better. I thought the sauce was alot, I will make it but not use as much. I also think that was a lot of sesame seeds as they are expensive, either not needed or use less. I just forgot the crushed red pepper as I did not have any in the house anyway. Lots left over for the next day or two.

I make this at least once a month in the summer. A great company dish at a barbecue. Anonymous
