a drizzle of Worcestershire sauce, vegan
a drizzle of sesame oil (optional)

a little over 1 cup pasta of choice (~100g)
¾ cup (180ml) unsweetened oat or soy milk
1 tsp miso paste

1 tsp white wine vinegar (or to taste)
1-2 handfuls vegan pizza cheese
2-3 handfuls fresh spinach
sesame seeds for serving

→ serves 1


#5 Sesame Seaweed Noodles 6:51

important note: after filming I tweaked this recipe SLIGHTLY and found a better way of assembling this bowl.
1. Mix 1 tbsp of the sesame sauce with your serving of noodles/edamame.
2. Add your other bowl add-ins (crispy tofu, cucumber, sea weed bits)
3. drizzle some of the remaining sauce on top, add remaining toppings
(this way the noodles don't soak up all the sauce at once. Anyway...)

for the sauce:
2 ½ tbsp white tahini (the less bitter kind)
1 ¼ tbsp balsamic vinegar, lemon juice or white wine vinegar
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp agave or maple syrup (or to taste, up to 2 tsp)
2-3 tbsp orange juice (or water)

optional:
2 cloves garlic, minced and sautéed for 2-3 min in a little olive oil
1/4 tsp orange zest
salt, pepper to taste

SERVE WITH
1 serving rice/soba noodles (~70g)
chopped cucumber, 2 handfuls edamame
100g-150g pan fried tempeh or crispy tofu (check recipe #1 for how to cook said tofu)
roasted seasoned seaweed strips (from asian supermarket)
sesame, spring onion, additional soy sauce, salt, pepper etc
