- 8 - 10 ounces noodles rice, udon, soba, or ramen
- 1 tablespoon white miso
- 1 tablespoon tahini
- 1 tablespoon dark or toasted sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar

Instructions
- In a small bowl mix together the miso, tahini, sesame oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, red chili flakes, garlic and green onion. Taste and adjust seasonings as desired. You can add more or less of just about any ingredient to achieve the desired flavor.
- Cook the noodles according to the package instructions. Drain well but set aside a small amount of cooking water.
- Toss the hot, freshly cooked and drained noodles with the sauce. You can add a bit of the reserved cooking water if it’s too thick. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
Notes
Slightly undercook the noodles (also called al dente) when following the package directions. This way you avoid overcooking the noodles.
Enjoy these noodles hot or cold! They work great both ways.
If you're not serving right away, it's a good idea to plunge the noodles into cold water so they stop cooking and don't end up mushy.
