Easy Is What We’re Working with Today
This recipe is incredibly easy, which, as you know, is kind of the only way I do meal prep. E-A-S-Y. The sauce can shake up in a jar and the noodles can cook in 2 minutes (serious). And just like that, you have sesame noodles. And said sesame noodles are, in fact, the base of the sesame noodle bowls, so basically you’re done. Now it’s just up to you how extra you want to get with your bowl-ing. I went medium effort on my sesame noodle bowls with cucumbers, edamame, sesame-ish chicken, and a sprinkling of sesame seeds, and it was part noodles, part salad, part health bomb, and I loved it. You can debate me on hot vs. cold all day – I will let you win either way because both are amazing. Guys, this is a desk lunch to keep you counting the hours till lunch BUT NOT LIKE I DO THAT?! Happy prepped lunches to you!
