Sesame Noodles

I'm a big noodle fan. Noodles are seriously comfort food for me, and I love them so much I can even eat them with just butter and salt (yum!). I was looking for a good asian style noodle recipe the other day and found this one (on my fave website www.allrecipes.com). The reviews seemed good so I was excited to give it a try.

I couldn't find safflower oil so I used vegetable oil. I reduced both the vegetable oil and the sugar to half (3 tablespoons each). I skipped the toasted sesame seeds as I couldn't find those either and added teriyaki chicken to make it a complete meal. Yum yum!

Ingredients

• 1 (16 ounce) package linguine pasta
• 6 cloves garlic, minced
• 6 tablespoons sugar
• 6 tablespoons safflower oil
• 6 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 6 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons sesame oil
• 2 teaspoons chili sauce
• 6 green onions, sliced
• 1 teaspoon sesame seeds, toasted

Directions

1. Bring a pot of lightly salted water to boil. Add pasta, and cook until al dente, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain, and transfer to a serving bowl.
2. Meanwhile, place a saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir in garlic, sugar, oil, vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, and chili sauce. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, until sugar dissolves. Pour sauce over linguine, and toss to coat. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.
