Ingredients

• 8 ounces Rice noodles
• 3 tablespoons Tahini (sesame paste)
• 1 tablespoon Chili paste (soy-free)
• 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Coconut aminos (soy-free alternative to soy sauce)
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon Toasted sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 2 stalks Green onions, sliced (optional garnish)
• 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional garnish)
• 1 tablespoon Crushed peanuts (optional garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the rice noodles according to the package instructions. Typically, this involves soaking them in hot water for 5-7 minutes until softened. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the tahini, chili paste, maple syrup, rice vinegar, coconut aminos, minced garlic, toasted sesame oil, and water until smooth. Adjust the water amount if needed to achieve your desired sauce consistency.

Step 3

In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 teaspoon of toasted sesame oil over medium heat. Add the prepared rice noodles and pour the sesame garlic sauce over them.

Step 4

Toss the noodles gently to coat them evenly in the sauce. Cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the noodles to absorb the flavors and warm through.

Step 5

Remove the noodles from heat and divide them into serving bowls.

Step 6

Garnish each bowl with sliced green onions, sesame seeds, and crushed peanuts, if desired.

Step 7

Serve immediately and enjoy your soy-free spicy sesame garlic noodles!
