Instructions
These make a quick weeknight meal. While the noodles are cooking in my stock pot, I make the sauce in a saucepan on medium heat. I add the sesame oil, coconut aminos, rice wine vinegar, tahini butter, peanut butter, sugar, red curry paste and sesame seeds to the saucepan. Then I whisk them together and heat the ingredients until they are just starting to simmer.
When the noodles are cooked according to the packaging directions I save a cup of the water and then drain the noodles. I add the noodles to my sauce pan of sauce and stir everything together. If the sauce is a bit thick I add some of the reserved water until I get the consistency I want.
