Unlike the fatty noodles you find in restaurants, our high-fiber noodles are served in a light, nutty sauce. It's lower in calories but doesn't sacrifice flavor in the slightest. The best part is that this dish is delicious hot, at room temperature, or chilled. Try it with a crisp green salad or blanched green veggies alongside for a more substantial meal. If you buy raw sesame seeds, in order to toast them, place them in a small dry skillet over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until lightly browned and fragrant, which should take 2 to 3 minutes. Watch them carefully when toasting; seeds can burn quickly.
