Why you'll love this recipe

Ginger sesame broccoli noodles are incredibly flavorful and so easy to make. Spinach and broccoli provide plant based protein, while basil and ginger bring fresh pops of flavor.

The coconut milk and tahini blend into a comforting sauce that is just enough to coat the noodles and veggies - light yet satisfying. Add tofu or your favorite protein to this for a satisfying entree.

 

How to make ginger sesame noodles

Ginger sesame broccoli noodles make a quick, easy and super tasty side or main dish for a busy weeknight dinner.

First, roast the broccoli and boil the water for noodles. In the short time it takes for both of those to cook, you can quickly prep the remaining few ingredients.

This recipe is easily doubled for tasty lunchtime leftovers or to meal prep a couple dinners for the week.

 

How to serve this recipe

You can add tofu directly to the sauce as it cooks, or serve these noodles alongside this crispy coconut tofu. For a fresh salad pairing, this brightly flavored edamame cucumber salad is perfect.

If serving these noodles as a starter, they are the perfect beginning to a dinner featuring these ginger sesame teriyaki burgers.

How long does this recipe last?

My rule for maximum flavor and freshness is to enjoy these ginger sesame noodles within three days.

Refrigerate any leftovers. Wait until it is cooled completely, and refrigerate in a glass container with a tightly fitting lid. 

Reheating method

Reheat these noodles on the stovetop in a skillet over medium heat. I happen to know these noodles are also very tasty eaten cold right out of the fridge...
