RECIPE TIPS FOR TAHINI SESAME NOODLES
Make it gluten-free: To prepare gluten-free tahini sesame noodles, be sure to reach for a gluten-free noodle option. Most soy sauces contain wheat, so you must choose a gluten-free variety or use liquid aminos instead.
Make it soy-free: To make this recipe soy-free, try using no soy tamari or liquid aminos instead of soy sauce. Some brands also make soy-free soy sauces, so you can try one of those. Some sesame oils are blended with soybean oil, so be sure to use pure sesame oil. Making this recipe soy-free also means ditching the edamame or swapping it with your favourite soy free protein.
Switch up the vegetables: Swap the veggies for your favorites or anything you have on hand. Broccoli, zucchini, bean sprouts, cucumber, and sugar snap peas pair exceptionally well with the flavors in this recipe. This can be a great recipe for clearing out your fridge!
Mix up the sauce: If you’re not a fan of tahini or want to switch up the flavor, swap the tahini for almond or peanut butter.
