As much as I love zoodles, I find myself craving real, takeout style sesame noodles on a regular basis. Honestly, who wouldn’t? A good sesame noodle, in my opinion, is flavorful, slightly sweet and a little sticky. I’m so excited to share my perfected sesame noodle recipe with you!
These noodles are awesome under a stir-fry, as a side dish to an Asian inspired meal, or even eaten cold as a snack (Come on, you know you’ve done it!). They actually get better the longer they sit and are best slightly cold. They’re made with Dreamfields pasta, so they have a “real” pasta texture to them. A serving size of these sesame noodles is about a cup, so load up on the veggies and meat! I wouldn’t recommend reheating these, as it loses its low-carb magic. This recipe serves a family of 6 if you stick with the recommended serving size. It also requires no special ingredients if you use a store-bought THM approved sweetener.
Like all of my meals, these noodles are completely family-friendly and approved by my picky non-THM man.
Please forgive my unintentional tongue twister. Super Simple Sesame Noodles was the title I decided on after a long day chasing little men. 🙂
Special Ingredients Mentioned:
- 1/2 Box Dreamfields Pasta (I use Angel Hair)
- 1/4 Cup Soy Sauce or Liquid Aminos
- 1 T. Minced Garlic
- 1/2 T. Rice Vinegar
- 1 T. Sesame Oil
- 1/4 t. Sriracha
- 1/4 t. Super Sweet Blend (or THM Sweetener of choice)
- Sprinkle Red Pepper Flakes (Optional)
- Sprinkle Sesame Seeds (Optional)
- Boil your pasta and drain. In a separate bowl, whisk together the remaining ingredients. Pour over pasta and stir to combine. Top with toasted sesame seeds and red pepper flakes if you wish.
What do you mean reheating them would lose ther low carb magic ? I am new to the THM thing!
Hey Coral!
The makers of Dreamfields structured the ingredients to affect our bodies a certain way when heated once. Reheating them again changes the structure somehow. Not sure of the exact details, I just know you can only eat them cold after you’ve heated them once! 🙂
Found this which answers the question about why reheating changes everything. https://www.diabetesdaily.com/forum/low-carb-diet/39537-dreamfields-responds-my-question/
TU TU TU can’t wait to try this. I had no idea carb values went up reheated….thanks for that info. Cooking for 1 is difficult, and I enjoy leftovers, need to remember this.
Hey, Gerrie!
I hope you enjoy it! <3
Would this work well with “Not Naughty Noodles?” Wondering if anyone’s tried it.
I haven’t tried this exact recipe with the Not Naughty Noodles, but I do have a Chow Mein that the noodles worked wonderfully in! I’d say go for it! 🙂
I made these tonight and threw some chicken and peanut butter in to make peanut butter chicken noodles. It was super good also doubled the siracha for a good amount of kick. Thanks for publishing a recipe so I can still have Chinese while on thm.
Hey Andy! I’m so glad you liked my recipe! I love your variation and plan on trying it! <3
I think this should be classified as an E meal. Rather than an S. I’m on the road reading this so I can’t check my notes at home. Thanks!
Hey, Anne!
No, it is a VERY light S due to the sesame oil. 🙂 Dreamfields pasta is a fuel pull frankenfood, so it takes on the form of whatever you top it with!
