easy sesame noodles recipe

My first idea when I finished and tasted these noodles was ‘How can something so simple and easy to prepare taste so gorgeous?’.
It’s utterly divine!
If you asked why, my guess would be that the all the gorgeousness stands on the balance of the ingredients. And the use of sesame oil. If you’ve never cooked with this kind of oil, sesame noodles might be just the right thing to start…
Enjoy!
With lots of love,
Petra
