Black Tahini Noodles
From Jamie Oliver's 5 Ingredients
Total time: 13 min
Servings: 2
Equipment: Stove & Mortar & Pestle
- 5 oz. Fine Rice Noodles
- 2 Limes
- 1 c. Watercress Sprouts
- 7/4 oz. Dark Sesame Seeds
- 2 tbsp. Teriyaki Sauce
- Cook the noodles in boiling salted water according to the package instructions, then drain, reserving a cupful of cooking water. Meanwhile, finely grate the zest of 1 lime, snip the cress, and put both aside.
- Toast the sesame seeds in a dry non-stick frying pan on a high heat for 1 minute, tossing regularly.
- Reserving one-quarter of the seeds, pound the rest in a pestle and mortar until fairly fine, then muddle in the teriyaki and the juice of 1 lime. Taste, season to perfection with sea salt and black pepper, and you've got a black tahini!
- Toss the noodles and black tahini together, loosening with a splash of reserved noodle water. Serve sprinkled with the lime zest, cress, and reserved seeds, with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over.
