Chinese Cold Sesame Noodles




This is a cold noodle dish consisting of vegetables (usually bean sprouts or cucumber) and pasta (I love to use spaghetti) topped with sesame sauce. It is unbelievably easy to prepare and tastes very good.

I like the sauce for these noodles! It's been a while since I've seen a recipe that called for Maggi sauce, something I grew up on.

Hmm ... I've not tried making 涼麵 before ... probably because I didn't grow up with it ... It's our Chinese version of pasta salad anyway LOL! Will try both 涼麵 & 涼拌 soon! =)
