Spicy Sesame Noodles Made Simple
I have loved spicy since I can last remember. I know I have shocked many beaus and friends with just how much spice and heat I can handle! So if you know me, this recipe wont really come as a shock to you. I will say this though it smells so good, and not spicy at all. To the point where my husband wanted to try it and got a HUGE surprise. This man can barely handle oregano, let alone red pepper flakes and sriracha!
I discovered a recipe a few years ago for spicy sesame noodles, and honestly, I was blown away by their flavor (pardon the pun). It’s so simple yet packed with punch! (oops I did it again!) 98-99% of the ingredients in this recipe I am positive most people will have on hand.

Over these few years, I have also learned some good solid cheaper substitutes as well. Like replacing tahini with peanut butter. Using onion instead of green onion as garnish and things like that. This dish is super simple and super cheaply. You can not only get the ingredients at nearly every grocery store, but a good portion of these ingredients can also be found at most
Spicy Sesame Noodle
Ingredients
- 3 cups of pasta of your choice (common would be spaghetti or long noodles of some sort)
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
- 2 tbsp sesame seeds
- 3 scallions chopped or 1 small onion chopped
- SAUCE
- 1/3 cup tahini
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/2 cup water or veggie broth

- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tbsp maple syrup

Instructions
- Set your noodles to cook
- Add all of the sauce ingredients into a bowl one at a time while whisking to incorporate
- Drain your pasta and put it back into the pot with the sauce and 1/2 the red pepper flakes.

- Plate and top with scallion greens (if available), remaining red pepper flakes and sesame seeds
