Garlic Sesame Noodles

Garlic Sesame Noodles are so easy, and so delicious. It makes a great dinner, and a wonderful lunch for a brown bag. It’s also a great recipe for a potluck; anything that’s already made, delicious, and can be served cold is perfect for a potluck or family holiday gathering in my book!

Freaky Friday

Welcome to Freaky Friday! With an excellent recipe for Garlic Sesame Noodles from A Dish of Daily Life.

What’s Freaky Friday, you ask? It’s an old-fashioned blog hop. I’ve made and shared a recipe from Michelle at A Dish of Daily Life, and she’s made a recipe from someone (a secret that I don’t know who it is yet), and she’s made a recipe from someone, and if you clicked through all the way around all the blogs, you would get back to my blog. Thus, a blog hop! So, if you would be so kind as to hop around and take a look at everyone participating, I promise it’ll be fun, and you’ll get lots of new recipe ideas!

A Dish of Daily Life

This is the first time I’ve gotten A Dish of Daily Life for Freaky Friday. Though I’ve known Michelle for many years, and I have the pleasure of calling her my friend. I’ve even made one of her recipes for my blog once before.

I made Michelle’s Crab Imperial Appetizer when she had neck surgery, and we were all supporting her.

This time around I had a hard time deciding what to make of Michelle’s fabulous collection. Should I make a dessert recipe like her amazing looking Peanut Butter Tarts or her PB&J Bars with Strawberry Jam? Or, a main dish like her Cajun Shrimp with Lemon Cream Pasta.

And, don’t forget to scroll all the way down and see all the amazing recipes my friends made for this Freaky Friday blog hop!

Garlic Sesame Noodles

In the end, this Garlic Sesame Noodles won because my husband saw them and asked me to make them. Well, sold! And, they were delicious. This is a recipe we will make again and again.

Michelle says, “you can eat it cold or warm it up slightly before eating”. We also served some of the leftovers hot after sizzling them in the skillet with some veggies. It was perfect! So, it’s great any way you like it!

These Garlic Sesame Noodles made a big dish full. We got 6 or 7 servings out of it. And, I like serving them with different veggies and proteins in it. We tried tofu and meatballs, both of which were great. I’d also try shrimp added to these. For the veggies, we tried adding water chestnuts, red and yellow bell peppers, sprouts, shredded carrots, and frozen green peas. Cabbage and bok choy would also be wonderful.
