10-Minute Creamy SESAME NOODLES 🥜 (Din Tai Fung’s copycat recipe)

tahini

🥗Healthier: sunflower seed butter

💰Cheaper: peanut butter

Sunflower seed butter is nut-free and offers a similar creamy texture.

soy sauce

🥗Healthier: low-sodium soy sauce

💰Cheaper: tamari

Low-sodium soy sauce reduces salt intake while tamari is gluten-free.

sesame oil

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Olive oil is a healthier fat option, while vegetable oil is more affordable.

noodles

🥗Healthier: whole grain noodles

💰Cheaper: spaghetti

Whole grain noodles add fiber, while spaghetti is a budget-friendly alternative.

Boil water in a large pot and cook the noodles according to package instructions until al dente.

Drain the noodles and rinse under cold water to stop cooking and cool them down.

In a bowl, whisk together tahini, soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, sugar, and rice vinegar until smooth.

Add the cooled noodles to the sauce and toss until evenly coated.

Chop scallions, cucumber, and carrots into thin strips or matchsticks.

Gently fold the vegetables into the noodles until well distributed.

Sprinkle sesame seeds over the top for garnish.

Serve chilled or at room temperature.
