What makes this recipe shine is the Chinese sesame paste, which gives the sauce a nutty and toasty flavor. You can purchase this paste at most Asian stores. If you have trouble finding the paste, tahini will work instead – just note that the flavor will be less toasty. For the topping, use as much or as little chili oil as you’d like for a spicy accent. These noodles are best served hot.
