There you have it, super simple sesame rice noodles! The dressing is creamy and delicious, and combined with the charred veggies works oh so well. I used the Everything Oil I made from the cookbook as my chilli oil, but whatever you have will work. I do recommend you whipping it up though if you have the cookbook!

This dish makes such a good quick dinner option as you can have it on the table in no time at all. If you want something a little heartier then a side of marinated tofu works excellently. Whatever you do I just recommend you give this dish a try!
