15 Minute Meal Prep: Sesame Noodle Bowls

If you're as minimalist on recipes as I am, 1 clove for 5 servings, and drop sesame paste. Sesame oil added: 1/2 tbs. Tastes similar!

I added a bunch veggies they added a bunch of flavor. I fried the veggies before hand.

I used sesame oil to cook the chicken after cutting the tenders into bite sizes. I also added red pepper chili flakes to the sesame sauce. I had a large zucchini so added that to the greens! Next time, I think some sautéed or even raw carrot slivers would be a nice crunchy, color pop!

We made some substitutions and adjustments to the recipe. Added more soy, red pepper flakes, green onions, cooked it all and mixed it into a wok to finish.

The time quote is flat out wrong. The sauce takes 15 minutes. The whole thing takes 30-60 minutes. Super frustrating that cooking the chicken is separate and instructions for the edamame are non existent. What the heck!

Took the tip from some of the comments and did 2tbsp tahini & 2 tbsp peanut butter. I added some fresh ginger & I also did 3tbsp total of Sesame oil & 1/2tbsp more of the rice vinegar. Also did veg stock instead of just water for a more rounded flavor. Very yummy & made lots of sauce.

It's great all around I'd just double up the sauce ingredients. Found it a little dry but good over all

Used what I had lying about, courgettes, chilli and carrots. Peanut butter instead of sesame paste. 1 Tsp Honey for the sugar and put it in the same pan and mixed it. Next time I will add 1 extra garlic, some ginger and a crack of salt when eating. Possibly extra honey or maple syrup.

My sesame sauce did not come out great, not sure where I went wrong. But I tossed everything in light teriyaki sauce and it was delicious.

Easy and turned out great! I added a few cups of broccoli, added lime juice, and doubled the sauce.

For how long does this last on the fridge?

Tasty dish, definitely make again, but I would probably put cooked warm veggies with it so that the dish doesn't go cold so quickly.

Used a store-bought sesame sauce and kept it in a jar in the lunchbox. It was very tasty and fresh! The recipe makes good-sized servings!

Really liked the sauce. Much longer prep time to cook chicken (air fryer), shell edamame etc

Sauce needs more too it. Needs spicy and also some more acid, like citrus

I used half tahini, half peanut butter Sauce is a little too thick to coat the Noodles

Tasty recipe! I took a recommendation from another comment and used peanut butter instead of tahini.

Used courgettes instead of cucumber. Stir fried the noodles. Very tasty and quick meal

Kids served themselves and actually ate a decent amount! That's a win!

Make adjustments

Easy, tasted great, and was customizable! We added carrots and broccoli because I couldn't find the edamame.

Easy to throw together and great for clearing veggies out of the fridge. Perfect for meal prep!

Nice

Kids loved it! I added siracha separately to the adult meals. Would definitely make again!

I used shrimp instead of chicken and it was a great easy meal! I think next time I might add broccoli or some extra veggies in there. Loved the sauce!

Very good! Topped with some crispy fried shallots and sesame seeds. The sauce is excellent.

Swapped the rice vinegar for apple cider because it was all I had and left out the sugar, and think it made the sauce a bit off! Will definitely make again with some rice vinegar and it’d be even better I think. And definitely add the sugar next time, or maybe some ginger or maple syrup instead if it needs some sweetness. Such an easy recipe though.

Tastes great, I used chicken thighs on the BBQ and everyone loved the meal. Sriracha sauce was added at the table so everyone could make it their own. .. truthfully, it didn't need the hit sauce

Really yummy. I substituted shrimp for the chicken and actually added mushrooms when I was cooking the noodles.

I couldn't find tahini at the store so I used dynasty Thai peanut satay sauce and thinned it with 3 tsp rice vinegar, 1/2 tsp sesame oil, 2 tsp soy sauce and 1 oz water

Added sweet potatoes in similar manner to chicken. Definitely add more vegetables next time.

Would use a bot less sesame paste. Makes it dry

Delicious, easy, makes leftovers, filling, healthy! I played around with the sauce, and tasted it as I adjusted it. I added extra sriracha, and it has a balanced sweet/spicy flavor that is not overwhelming.

I accidentally added teriyaki sauce instead of soy sauce, but it still tastes pretty good!

The noodles were a little dry and sticky as leftovers but the sauce is delicious. I go back to this recipe over and over just for the sauce.

Cooked chicken in oven with cornstarch and then fried slightly to get some browning. Used thick rice noodles. Used peanut instead of sesame and lime instead of vinegar. Added green beens which I fried a but with the chicken

Added some more fresh veggies!

See my note below - recommended!

So. Good! I pre-cooked the chicken and made homemade tahini the other day, so it was really easy to cook the noodles and assemble everything today. Great balance of flavors.

The smell is different if your aren't use to these types of dishes but really good

Took another reviewer's suggestion to substitute peanut butter for the sesame paste. I used PB2 (6 tbsp and 4.5 tbsp water). It was too watery so I cut back on the water and then heated the sauce on the stove to thicken it up. Good taste.

It was good! Took longer than instructions said it would. Instructions were a bit unclear here and there but we made it work!

Delicious and will definitely make again! I didn't use Cucumber this time but the meal still tasted delicious. I would add more water to the sauce next time though and the noodles became a bit gooey but overall good!

Do two batches of sauce 1 w Sriracha one with out

I didn't have sesame paste so I used peanut butter instead. It was actually really good and a new favorite. I am not a big fan of peanut butter but it tasted great. Really simple to make. Quick as well.

Make sure to rinse the noodles, otherwise they will be gummy. Pretty good, otherwise!

Great flavor! Used tofu and lima beans in place of edamame since the store didn't have any shelled edamame. Added paprika, season salt, and garlic powder. Would definitely make again!

DELICIOUS! We absolutely went back for seconds. We used rice noodles instead of stir-fry and it was perfect. Just remember to buy pre shelled edamame, unlike us who had to stand and squeeze a zillion soybean pods.

Great for lunch meal preps. Hard boiled eggs goes well with it. Switched out the chicken for garlic infused black beans for a vegetarian option.

We cooked the chicken with some of the sauce and left the sriracha out for each person to determine how much spice. The fresh, cold cucumbers were a nice contrast with the other soft hot food.

Solid quick dish. Need to triple noodles for a double serving of the meals.

Easy and tasty
