Description

This Easy Creamy Tahini Noodles recipe offers a quick and flavorful dish combining smooth tahini sauce with tender rice noodles. The sauce blends tahini, garlic, tamari, toasted sesame oil, honey, chili crisp, and rice vinegar, creating a rich and spicy dressing that perfectly coats the noodles. Ready in just 10 minutes, this dish is ideal for a satisfying lunch or light dinner with garnishes like chili crisp, sesame seeds, and green onions adding extra texture and flavor.

Ingredients

For the Noodles

  • 4 oz. rice noodles

For the Sauce

  • ⅓ cup tahini
  • 1 clove garlic, grated or minced
  • 2 tablespoons tamari or soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon chili crisp (adjust to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • Hot water (to thin sauce as needed)

For Garnish

  • Additional chili crisp
  • Sesame seeds
  • Green onions, chopped
  • Lime juice (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook the noodles: Prepare the rice noodles according to the package instructions. For faster preparation, soak soakable rice noodles in hot water while preparing the sauce.
  2. Make the sauce: In a bowl, whisk together tahini, grated garlic, tamari, toasted sesame oil, honey or maple syrup, chili crisp, and rice vinegar until well combined. If the sauce is too thick, add hot water a tablespoon at a time, whisking until the sauce is thick but pourable and drizzly.
  3. Combine noodles and sauce: Drain the noodles and toss them in the prepared tahini sauce, mixing thoroughly to coat the noodles evenly.
  4. Garnish and serve: Top the noodles with additional chili crisp, sesame seeds, chopped green onions, and a squeeze of lime juice if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use soakable rice noodles to speed up preparation by soaking in hot water rather than boiling.
  • Adjust the amount of chili crisp based on your preferred spice level.
  • Honey can be substituted with maple syrup for a vegan option.
  • If you prefer gluten-free, make sure to use tamari instead of soy sauce.
  • Leftover noodles can be refrigerated and eaten cold or gently warmed up.
