Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound spaghetti or linguine
  • 1/2 cup tahini
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup hot water (or more, to reach desired consistency)
  • Optional garnishes: chopped scallions, toasted sesame seeds, crushed peanuts, shredded carrots

Instructions

  1. Cook the pasta according to package directions. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process and cool the noodles.
  2. While the pasta cooks, prepare the sauce. In a medium bowl, whisk together tahini, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey or maple syrup, grated ginger, and minced garlic.
  3. Gradually whisk in the hot water, a tablespoon at a time, until the sauce reaches your desired smooth and pourable consistency.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the cooled pasta with the sesame sauce. Toss well to ensure the noodles are evenly coated.
  5. Serve immediately or chill for later. Garnish with your favorite toppings before serving.

Notes

  • For meal prep, store the sauced noodles in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • You can adjust the sauce consistency by adding more or less hot water.
  • Feel free to add cooked chicken, tofu, or your favorite vegetables to make it a complete meal.
