Ingredients

  • Noodles and Sauce:
  • 6 ounces dried wide wheat noodles
  • 2 tablespoons tahini
  • 1 tablespoon white miso paste
  • 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • Garlicky Chili Oil:
  • 2 tablespoons neutral oil
  • 1 large garlic clove (or 2 small), finely minced
  • 1 medium scallion, thinly sliced (white and light green parts separated from dark green)
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 teaspoon toasted white sesame seeds (plus more for garnish)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon Chinese black vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • Garnish:
  • Reserved dark green scallion slices
  • Chili crisp, to taste
  • Additional toasted sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk tahini, miso paste, sesame oil, and water until smooth. Set aside.
  3. In a heatproof bowl, combine minced garlic, sliced scallion (white and light green parts), red pepper flakes, sesame seeds, garlic powder, sugar, and salt.
  4. Heat neutral oil in a small pan over high heat until it begins to smoke. Carefully pour the hot oil over the garlic mixture. Stir well.
  5. Stir in the black vinegar and soy sauce into the chili oil mixture.
  6. Transfer hot cooked noodles to the tahini-miso sauce bowl. Toss to coat.
  7. Pour chili oil over the noodles and toss again. Add a splash of noodle water if needed to loosen the sauce.
  8. Garnish with scallion greens, chili crisp, and more sesame seeds. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Reduce red pepper flakes for a milder version.
  • Peanut butter can be substituted for tahini, but it will alter the flavor.
  • Add veggies like spinach, mushrooms, or bok choy for extra nutrition.
  • Top with tofu or a soft-boiled egg for protein.
  • Use rice noodles for a gluten-free variation.
