Chinese Sesame Noodles from food writer, Franco Salzillo, food and drink writer!
Have you ever wondered what makes Chinese sesame noodles so tasty? The oily noodles are, without a doubt, one of America’s favorite dishes, and that’s no surprise.
The first Chinese immigrates to arrive in the US brought the dish around the 1850s. Chinese noodles are as American as apple pie, and we’ll show you how to make an easy version that is better than takeout.
