Sesame Noodles

Chris and I love chinese take out.  When we were living in TX the take out places around us didn't hold a candle to the Emerald Garden, so I started making my own.  And now we live in the middle of nowhere, so I have too!

Sesame Noodles

1 - 13.25 package of whole wheat blend thin spaghetti noodles

2 tsp minced garlic (4 cloves)

1/4 cup oil

1/4 cup soy sauce

1/4 cup white wine

1/4 cup sugar

1 Tbls sesame oil

1 1/2 tsp tabasco sauce

2 Tbls sesame seeds

4 green onions, chopped

Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook noodles al dente.  While noodles are cooking, prepare sauce.  I used to make this recipe by sauteing the garlic and oil in a skillet, then adding the remaining ingredients (except for sesame seeds and green onions) and bringing it to just before a boil.  Then one night I was in a hurry, so I added all the ingredients (except for sesame seeds and green onions) to a large pyrex measuring cup and microwaved it for 5 minutes (or however long your microwave takes to heat to just before a boil).  The taste was identical, so that's how I make it now.  Either way will work, though!  Pour sauce over noodles and top with green onions and sesame seeds.  I like to serve these noodles with stir fry.

Enjoy!
