Ingredients

115 grams wheat noodles (dried knife cut noodles recommended)
⅓ cup cucumber thinly sliced as garnish

Sauce:

½ green onion finely sliced
1 garlic clove minced
1 tablespoon sesame paste (or sub with tahini but please note tahini is milder in sesame flavor)
¾ tablespoon regular soy sauce
½ tablespoon dark soy sauce
½ teaspoon Chinese black vinegar or sub with Rice Vinegar or White Vinegar
1 teaspoon sesame seeds
¾ teaspoon white granulated sugar
½ teaspoon chicken bouillon powder (aka chicken stock powder)
2 tablespoon vegetable oil or any neutral tasting oil

For Spicy Option, add to the Sauce before mixing:

2 teaspoon Chili oil or Red Pepper Flakes

Instructions

In a heatproof bowl (like ceramic, glass or steel), add Sauce ingredients. (Spicy option: to make this spicy, add Chili Oil or red pepper flakes to the bowl).
Heat your vegetable oil in a pot over medium heat until you see it begin to smoke. Remove off heat. Pour the hot oil over the Sauce ingredients aiming for dried sesame seeds (to prevent splash back). Whisk your sauce mixture together.
According to package instructions, boil noodles in a pot in hot boiling water. If you're using knife cut wheat noodles, boil for 3-4 minutes. Strain immediately and pour noodles into your bowl with the sauce. Mix noodles with sauce. Enjoy!
Optional: Garnish with fresh sliced cucumbers, green onions and more sesame seeds.

Notes

These sesame noodles can be served hot or cold.
