If you haven’t jumped on the tahini train, then you need to try these noodles. They are super creamy, a little spicy and definitely not lacking in flavor! Served with bok choy and topped with green onion, cilantro, sesame seeds and red pepper flakes (for an extra kick). These noodles are ready in less than 30 minutes and are the perfect weeknight dinner!

How to make the spicy tahini sauce

The tahini sauce is super simple. Grab a food processor or blender and add tahini (duh), soy sauce, rice vinegar, sriracha, agave, sesame oil, red pepper flakes, garlic and ginger. Blend until creamy and smooth – adding water as needed.

Tahini naturally has a bitter taste, but should be balanced by the other ingredients. If you find it to be too bitter, just add a little more soy sauce and you should be good to go.

Bring it together

Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add the pasta. When the noodles are 2 minutes from being done, add the bok choy to the water. This will cook the bok choy just enough (and save you from using another pan). Remove the bok choy and drain the noodles.

Place the empty pot back on the stove, add the noodles, the sauce & cilantro and give everything a good toss. Serve the noodles right away with the bok choy, more cilantro, green onion, sesame seeds, red pepper flakes and lime wedges.

This is the perfect weeknight dinner! It requires very few dishes, is balanced with noodles and veggies AND it’s totally saucy! You need to give it a try!
