- 1/2 cup fresh scallions, chopped
- 1/4 cup neutral oil
- Hot sauce, to taste

Instructions:
-
Cook Noodles: In a pot of boiling salted water, cook the noodles until they are tender yet still slightly firm. This should take about 8-10 minutes.
-
Rinse and Drain: Once cooked, drain the noodles and rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking process. Toss them with 1 tablespoon of neutral oil to prevent sticking.
-
Prepare Sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine the tahini, sugar, soy sauce, vinegar, and the remaining neutral oil. Whisk until the ingredients are well incorporated.
-
Adjust Seasoning: Add a dash of hot sauce to the sauce mixture, adjusting the spiciness according to your preference. Taste the sauce and season with salt if necessary.
-
Adjust Consistency: Thin the sauce with hot water until it reaches the desired consistency, similar to that of heavy cream.
-
Combine Noodles and Sauce: Toss the cooked and drained noodles with the prepared sauce until they are evenly coated.
-
Garnish and Serve: Garnish the sesame cold noodles with chopped scallions for a pop of freshness. Serve immediately and enjoy the delightful blend of flavors!
