Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the black bean noodles and cook according to package instructions until tender. Drain and rinse under cold water to remove excess starch. Set aside.

In a large skillet or wok, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 4

Pour in the low sodium vegetable broth and lime juice, stirring to combine.

Step 5

Add the cooked black bean noodles to the skillet and toss gently to combine with the vegetables and sauce.

Step 6

Stir in the chopped cilantro, green onions, red pepper flakes, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Step 7

Remove from heat and sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds over the top before serving.

Step 8

Garnish with additional cilantro and lime wedges, if desired, and serve warm.
