These Sesame Noodle Bowls are great for when you really don’t feel like cooking. They pretty much take about as long to make as to cook your noodles, so super quick. I serve them cold (salad style), and you can pretty much layer in any veggies that you like in here. This dish is vegetarian and vegan friendly too, however, if you would like to add some protein in, feel free.
I got the inspiration for this dish from another site Pinch of Yum Sesame Bowls
This recipe is adapted to my taste.
Anyone else getting sick of quarantine life? Although I’m trying to stay positive, I have to admit, it gets you down somedays. I miss my family and friends and just wanna hug everyone and hang out again. I sure can’t wait until that day comes again.
We have been making a lot of comfort food lately, but in the few days this month that I’ve put jeans on to run for groceries, I’m thinking I should add some more veggies into my diet. These bowls are packed with veggies and just a few noodles in there make them extra delicious. I mean seriously I can’t go totally without carbs – can I? It’s all about balance I say.
So pull out your veggie drawers and clean out your fridge. Boil a few noodles, whip together this easy sauce and supper is served. I hope it brightens your day. Hang in there everyone! This too shall pass!
