Slurp up these Sticky Ginger Sesame Noodles and use a spoon to lick the bowl clean…That is how amazing this sauce is! Best of all this dish can be made in 5 minutes flat with a handful of simple ingredients. Gluten free, Grain free, Paleo, Vegan.

If you visit my blog often you may have stumbled across my other famous noodle recipes. Sticky Garlic Noodles and Crazy Good Peanut Noodles are my top two most popular recipes on my blog. I guess I have a knack for creating really tasty and addictive noodle dishes, and this dish is no exception!!

So I decided to create another finger-licking, can’t stop eating, swoon-inducing delicious noodle recipe! These Sticky Ginger Sesame Noodles have the perfect balance of sweet, salty, and sticky. Consider this your warning: They are addictive! You will want to put this sauce on everything. I mean everything.

Zoodles are my go-to healthy noodles, as they are low cal and grain free, but if you prefer any other type of noodles, go ahead and sub those in. Rice noodles, wheat noodles, even sweet potato noodles would be amazing. This recipe makes one large serving (that you will not want to share), so make sure to double it if others are wanting to indulge.

Best of all, this recipe can be made in just 5 minutes! You do not need to skimp on big bright flavor when you don’t have time to cook. Top with some sliced chicken breast, tofu, pork, or beef to make a complete balanced meal. Toss in some spinach an other stir fry veggies to bump up the nutrients.

I love healthy, guilt-free dishes that taste sinfully good. These Sticky Ginger Sesame Noodles pack a flavorful punch, but they are so very healthy.

And that sauce…… So good!

Sticky Ginger Sesame Noodles

3 tablespoons coconut aminos ((or soy sauce))
2 tablespoons agave ((or maple syrup))
2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
1 tablespoon green onion, chopped ((optional))
1 teaspoon sesame seeds ((optional))
1/2 teaspoon arrowroot starch ((optional)(or cornstarch, dissolved in 1 tablespoon water))

Spiralize your noodles or cook your noodles and set aside.
Add a dash of oil to a pan and sauté the minced garlic, ginger, and half of the green onions (optional) for 1-2 minutes over medium-high heat.
Add the rice wine vinegar, coconut aminos (or soy sauce), agave (or maple syrup), and toasted sesame oil. Simmer and Reduce for 3 minutes or until thickened.
Optional: If you want the sauce to be extra thick and sticky add the arrowroot slurry, mix well, and remove from the heat. The sauce will thicken as it cools.
Toss the zoodles or noodles in the sauce. (If using raw zoodles you can leave the noodles and sauce over the heat for a few minutes to soften the zoodles.) Scoop them into a bowl and top with sesame seeds and remaining green onion.

So these Toasted Sesame Noodles are a little peak inside the book :). These noodles are easy, tasty and addictive! Be sure to eat them with chopsticks to slow you down a bit. Fork= shoveling noodles into my mouth….Haha.

These Toasted Sesame Noodles are a flavor explosion of nutty, buttery, rich goodness! And they are so very, very addictive! The toasted sesame seeds are the highlight of this dish with a rich nutty flavor, and the noodles are saturated with a light flavorful sauce making an amazing flavor combination. Best of all the dish is crazy simple and quick to make. It just takes a few simple ingredients and 15 minutes or less! There is a recipe adaptation for every diet including traditional, gluten-free, grain-free, paleo, pegan and vegan! Everyone can partake in noodle joy!!

When I make these noodles, I actually use zoodles most of the time, you know zucchini noodles made using a spiralizer. (You can find one here– it’s a must have!) Zoodles make an awesome super healthy and grain-free stand-in for noodles. They happily take on whatever flavor you subject them to 🙂 (These pictures were taken with quinoa noodles by Ancient Harvest which make an excellent gluten-free option if you don’t want zoodles.)

I’ve been zoodle crazy at my house cooking up all these noodle recipes! I’ve even tried spiraling carrots and cucumbers, which, I must say, are AWESOME as well! This recipe would also be amazing with chilled cucumber noodles. Just let the sauce cool and toss them in with “cucoodles,” you know- cucumber-noodles. Hehe.

Cricket has even gotten in on all the noodle action. She’ll happily slurps them from her bowl, as long at they are coated in some yummy sauce 🙂 Today I served her up some noodles a la chicken broth and she was smitten! Remember that scene in Lady and the Tramp where the lovebird pups slurp the same noodle over a spaghetti supper? Well, I think Cricket would make the perfect “Lady!” Here we are practicing the scene for her someday debut:

3 cups of noodles or zoodles (spiralizer for zoodles)
1 1/2 tablespoons sesame seeds
1 1/2 teaspoons sesame oil
2 tablespoons broth (veggie or chicken)
1 1/2 tablespoons coconut aminos (or tamari or soy sauce)
2 teaspoons rice vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)
1 1/2 teaspoons sriracha
2 teaspoons almond butter (or peanut butter)
2 teaspoons coconut sugar
1 tablespoon green onion (chopped for garnish)

Spiralize your zucchini to make your zoodles and set aside, making about 3 cups. Or boil your gluten-free noodles according to the box’s direction.
Over medium-high heat, dry roast the sesame seeds until golden. (Alternatively you can add 1/4 t of butter, ghee, or oil of choice to add a bit more flavor to them.)
In a saucepan over medium-high heat combine the sesame oil, broth, tamari, rice vinegar, sriracha, almond butter, and coconut sugar. Mix thoroughly and let simmer for 30 seconds. (If using toasted sesame oil add it at the end once you remove the sauce from the heat.)
Toss the noodles with the sauce, plate and garnish with fresh green onions and toasted sesame seeds.
