Gluten Free Sesame Noodles
Adapted from Deborah Madison.
This is for the quick dinner, the pot luck, the throw what's left of the veggies, kinda meal. Of course, they do not have to be gluten free. Sub out your favorite noodle if you like. Not all gluten free noodles are worthy of a recipe. My fav are THESE. My husband only goes for gluten free spaghetti noodles in this one particular dish, so that's sayin' somethin'.
