I’m crazy about this new recipe for gluten-free sesame noodles with vegetables. While I found great organic produce to use in it, I can’t wait until our summer garden supplies me with the fresh veggies I need for making it too! This light and healthy sesame noodle recipe is meatless too! While I made this gluten-free sesame noodles recipe to be an easy meatless meal, I’m actually most excited about this as a make ahead lunch idea! I struggle with eating healthy gluten-free lunches, sometimes even with eating lunch at all. I’m prone to just snacking throughout the day. But as I enjoyed this for lunch today, I thought it was the perfect dish that I could make on Sunday or Monday, package up, and enjoy for lunch the next 3 days! While that’s my plan, I’m pretty sure I’m going to be fighting off my family for who gets the lunch containers of this! I might have to make a double batch every Sunday for the week ahead. It’s healthy and just filling enough without feeling heavy. The edamame provides a good source of protein, so it’s easy for this to be a meatless meal. However, if you’d like, you could surely add some meat or tofu to this as well. This was a different sort of recipe for me to develop. I actually started with the ingredients first, then came up with the recipe! I was browsing ingredients and toasted sesame seeds and sesame oil caught my eye, and then when I saw gluten-free spaghetti noodles, I thought making some sort of sesame noodles would be fun! I figured adding some coconut aminos (similar to soy sauce) would add some great flavor. I decided to do a spin on my gluten-free chicken lo mein recipe, with a little different flavor profile and also making it a meatless meal. I did some googling and found out that sesame noodles are actually a popular take-out meal – I had no idea! Since I’d already sketched out what I was going to create, I looked for further inspiration from the popular take out meal. I noticed it included chili oil or chili paste, and some included peanut butter. Since I already have a gluten-free peanut butter noodle recipe, I didn’t want to go that direction, but the idea of adding some chili paste was a good one! I added the chili paste cart along with the other items and got to work on this later. Here’s what I ended up using for my vegan sesame noodles recipe: This easy sesame noodles recipe is vegan and vegetarian, making it suitable for those diets or just for your Meatless Monday dinner if you do that. Another good gluten-free vegan recipe is this vegan Tikka Masala recipe. This ratatouille looks like a great meal choice for meatless dinner too! Great choice for a meatless dinner or to make ahead for gluten-free lunches, I think you'll enjoy these gluten-free sesame noodles. If you've got garden fresh veggies, go ahead and add them! Ready in under 30 minutes! I used Jovial gluten-free spaghetti noodles. Feel free to use a different gluten-free spaghetti and follow cooking directions on the package. You can use gluten-free Tamari sauce instead of coconut aminos. Notes on ingredients for this sesame noodles recipe:

I've never heard of iherb, but I'll definitely have to check it out. I hate having to shop multiple stores to find a few different ingredients. Also, this looks so light and fresh, I think I'll try making it ahead for lunch as I have the same problem...I'm a snacker. Thanks for the recipe!
