WATCH HOW TO MAKE CREAMY TAHINI CHILI NOODLES:
We’ll start by mixing together ginger, garlic, tahini, soy sauce, sambal or any chili paste, some fresh lemon zest for brightness, lemon juice, honey to balance the flavors, and some hot water just to help this become super creamy and silky.
For veggies, this is totally up to you but I’ve used grated cucumber, carrots, pickled onions, spring onions, bell peppers, radish, and for a touch of sweetness some chopped grapes. Pomegranate would work great here too!
Now in goes your noodles of choice, followed by our silky tahini chili sauce. Give this all a toss and garnish with fresh mint, toasted pistachios, and some sesame seeds. Chill before serving and you’re ready to dig in!
