These were super easy to make. I did a lot of the prep in advance, chopped the veggies and made the sauce in an empty jar and left it all in the fridge overnight. That way when it came time to eat, all I had to do was empty the veggies, the noodles, and the sauce into a big bowl and mix it up. Great for when you are having people over and you’re short on time.

I made another version of sesame noodles once before, and it was really good too, and could be made from basic store cupboard ingredients, but this one is more substantial as a full meal because of the veggies, they also add a really nice crunch. If I was thinking about it in advance enough to pick up some sprouts and a pepper, I would totally make this version.
