It\u2019s been hot this summer, and I\u2019ve been making these Chinese Sesame Noodles on repeat. They\u2019re perfect at room temperature, with a creamy sesame sauce that clings to every noodle and just enough spice to wake everything up. My cravings for this dish aren\u2019t limited to summer, though. I\u2019ll happily have these for lunch or dinner all year long. And after your first bite, I think you\u2019ll feel the same!<\/p>\n

These Cold Sesame Noodles are endlessly customizable, quick to toss together, and packed with big, bold flavor. In just 20 to 30 minutes, you\u2019ll have a dish that\u2019s equally at home on a busy weeknight, at a picnic, or as part of a summer buffet.<\/p>\n

About Chinese Sesame Noodles<\/span><\/h2>\n

I\u2019ve made more than a few Sesame Noodle recipes over the years. I liked them all. This one I love. It\u2019s the brainchild of my sister, who\u2019s passed along many wonderful recipes over the years. And she\u2019s every bit as obsessed with perfection as I am, so you gotta know this is the best!<\/p>\n

Each addition brings something special, creating an outstanding balance of flavors. Along with the peanut butter often found in American versions, there\u2019s sesame paste or tahini for extra depth and richness. Chinese black vinegar adds a deep, rich, almost smoky umami note. And instead of just one sesame oil, there are two: hot sesame oil for a gentle kick and toasted sesame oil for that unmistakable nutty aroma.<\/p>\n

Speaking of heat, it\u2019s really more about flavor than spice. The hot sesame oil, chili crisp, and chili garlic paste each add a little warmth while contributing layer upon layer of savory complexity. Freshly grated ginger rounds everything out with its bright, fragrant warmth.<\/p>\n

A little ham is the perfect addition, along with thin ribbons of egg, a classic garnish for many Asian noodle dishes. They both boost the protein while adding color and texture. As for the vegetables, choose your favorites from the garnish suggestions or add your own. As I mentioned, this dish is endlessly customizable.<\/p>\n

Making Chinese Sesame Noodles<\/h2>\n

This recipe comes together quickly. I mentioned 20 to 30 minutes, but that really depends on the add-ins you choose. Some take just a minute or two, while others require a little extra prep.<\/p>\n

I know my sister perfected this recipe over time, so don\u2019t tell her I said this! If you can\u2019t source every ingredient, don\u2019t worry. I\u2019d much rather see you make a fabulous bowl of sesame noodles than skip the recipe because you can\u2019t find one specialty ingredient.<\/p>\n
