Garlic Sesame Noodles is a flavorful and easy-to-make dish featuring tender brown rice noodles tossed in a savory sauce of garlic, toasted sesame oil, soy sauce, and a hint of spice from sriracha. This vegetarian recipe is perfect as a quick lunch or dinner, combining the nuttiness of tahini and sesame oil with a balanced tang from rice vinegar and subtle sweetness from honey or maple syrup.

Ingredients

Noodles and Cooking

  • 12 ounces brown rice noodles
  • 1 tablespoon neutral oil (avocado, olive, or refined coconut oil)

Sauce

  • 6 cloves garlic, minced very finely
  • 1/4 to 1/3 cup low sodium soy sauce or tamari
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable broth
  • 1 ½ tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons tahini
  • 2 teaspoons sriracha
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger

Garnishes (Optional)

  • Scallions
  • Red pepper flakes
  • Crushed peanuts

Instructions

  1. Cook the pasta: Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the brown rice noodles according to the package instructions until tender. Drain and set aside.
  2. Prepare the garlic: Mince the garlic cloves very finely or use a garlic press to achieve small pieces since the sauce will not be blended.
  3. Sauté garlic: Heat the neutral oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until the edges of the garlic pieces turn golden brown, releasing a fragrant aroma. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
  4. Mix the sauce: In a separate bowl, whisk together the soy sauce or tamari, vegetable broth, rice vinegar, toasted sesame oil, honey or maple syrup, tahini, sriracha, and ground ginger until the mixture is smooth with no ginger clumps and the tahini is evenly distributed.
  5. Combine sauce with garlic: Pour the prepared sauce into the pan with the sautéed garlic. Stir well to combine and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens, intensifying the flavor.
  6. Toss noodles with sauce: Add the cooked brown rice noodles into the pan and toss until all noodles are evenly coated with the garlic sesame sauce.
  7. Garnish and serve: Garnish with chopped scallions, red pepper flakes, and crushed peanuts according to your preference. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use low sodium soy sauce or tamari to avoid excessive saltiness. Adjust quantity between 1/4 to 1/3 cup based on taste preference.
  • The neutral oil can be avocado, olive, or refined coconut oil, mainly needed to sauté garlic without overpowering flavors.
  • This recipe is mild in spice; feel free to increase sriracha or add more red pepper flakes to suit your desired heat level.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • If adding vegetables, chicken, or tofu, consider doubling the sauce for enough coverage and flavor.
