These are the perfect noodles to pack for lunch or a quick and easy dinner. They can be enjoyed at room temp or refrigerated. Option to add a piece of baked salmon to the top for your weekly dose of Omega-3s!

What I love about this Easy Tahini Noodle bowl

  1. The creamy tahini dressing.
    The tahini dressing has dark peanut butter too which adds that extra creamy + rich flavor.
  2. Edamame!
    I can eat edamame like popcorn! And they are full of plant-based protein + fiber!
  3. The Noodles.
    I’m super obsessed with these Lotus Brown Rice and Millet Ramen noodles. Why use regular ramen noodles when you can make gluten-free noodles that use whole grains!

What is Tahini?

Tahini is just like a nut butter – except it’s a smooth paste of ground sesame seeds. It’s often that extra something in hummus that gives a rich umami flavor. You can use it pretty much anywhere you’d use a nut butter and it just makes a pretty darn good creamy dressing.

Sesame seeds are a powerhouse for the brain. They contain amino acids that produce dopamine, essential for memory and mental acuity. I’ve always been drawn to anything with sesame seeds – sesame bagels are my favorite! Try my everything bagel pretzels with sesame seeds!

There are so many brands of tahini and it’s important to find one that is good quality and has a smooth taste, aka not bitter. I love Once Again organic tahini which I find in my local Natural Grocers.

A few of my best recipes with tahini are:

+ Farro Bowl with Tahini Dressing

+ Broccoli Barley Bowl with Tahini Dressing

+ Sesame Noodle Bowl

And of course one of my favorite little sweet snacks with tahini and sesame seeds are these:

+ Maple Almond Cashew Clusters

and my flagship cookies…

+ Oat & Sesame Tahini Chocolate Chip Cookies
