    Substitutions

    Noodles

    You can use ramen noodles, spaghetti noodles, rice noodles or low-carb shirataki noodles with this recipe. It truly is quite versatile and easy to make with whatever pasta you have on hand.

    Coconut Aminos

    If you are not sensitive to soy, then soy sauce or tamari can be used in place of coconut aminos.

    Apple Cider Vinegar

    You can use lemon juice or rice vinegar in place of apple cider vinegar.

    Maple Syrup

    Honey, agave syrup, coconut sugar or coconut nectar can be used instead of maple syrup in this recipe.

    Sriracha

    The sriracha adds a slight spicy kick to these noodles. If you are not fond of spicy noodles, then simply omit the sriracha.

    Enjoying

    • Serve on their own for a super simple, easy and tasty meal.
    • Top this sesame bowl off with tofu or tempeh for some added protein (note: this is not soy-free).
    • Serve alongside your favorite steamed veggies. Broccoli, carrots, and spinach are some of my favorite additions.
    • Top with green onions or sauteed mushrooms.
    • This is a great dish to serve alongside some spring rolls for a heartier meal.

    Storing

    These noodles can be enjoyed served right way, chilled in the fridge then served as cold sesame noodles, or stored in the fridge in an air tight container for up to one week. To reheat, simply place in a skillet over low heat until warmed throughout.

      You may want to specify that ramen noodles are usually wheat- people will need to be sure to purchase rice ramen or other gluten-free ramen.

        Hi Haley! Thank you SO much for catching this! I usually add that automatically, being that this is a GF blog, but somehow that was a major oversight on my part. I've now updated it. Thanks again! đŸ™‚

      This just moved up to the top of my list for noodle sauces. Yum!! The garlic powder and sriracha adds the perfect garlicky kick. Genius. I also added a tsp of arrowroot powder to help the sauce thicken a bit. Thank you for the keeper!
