Garlic Sesame Noodles

Noodles are one of my absolute favourite dinner ingredients and I have many regular noodle meal orders for when we are out. However since most of our meals are prepared in our kitchen at home so it is important to have a great noodle recipe on standby for me to prepare delicious Noodles for dinner.

This is an excellent recipe to have on standby, filled with vegetables and ready to throw together for a super quick weeknight meal. I try to plan meals to have leftovers and this noodle recipe also makes enough that there is left overs to enjoy for lunch the next day.
