10-Minute Sesame Noodles Recipe (Ma Jiang Mian)
Description
The 10-Minute Sesame Noodles combine soft wheat noodles with a sauce crafted by blending sesame paste, peanut butter, light soy sauce, optionally rice vinegar, vegetable oil, sugar, and water until smooth. This sauce imparts creamy, nutty, and slightly tangy notes that complement the mild, chewy noodles. The noodles are cooked according to package directions and tossed while hot in the sauce for even coating. Chopped scallions add a fresh, sharp contrast in flavor, while chili oil can be added for a mild heat. The result is a harmonious dish that is comforting and straightforward.
This dish is typically served as a light meal or side, suitable for warm weather or when a quick preparation is desired. It pairs well with simple vegetable sides or can be enhanced with protein additions if preferred.
Ingredients
- 4 oz. fresh wheat noodles (or 1 serving of dried noodles)
- ½ tablespoon sesame paste
- 1 tablespoon peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce light
- 1-2 teaspoons rice vinegar (optional to taste)
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- ½ teaspoon sugar
- 5 tablespoons water or braised meat sauce, hot
- 1 scallion (chopped)
- Chili oil (optional)
Instructions
- Cook the noodles according to the package instructions.
- While the noodles are cooking, make the sauce by mixing together the sesame paste, peanut butter, light soy sauce, rice vinegar (optional), vegetable oil, sugar, and water. Stir in one direction until it turns into a smooth, even paste.
- Once the noodles are cooked, drain them and toss with the prepared sauce, chopped scallions, and chili oil (if desired). It's best to mix the noodles while they are still hot!
