Ingredients

200 g Noodles of your choice
2 Scallions (2-3, thinly sliced)
1 Garlic (1-2 cloves, minced)
1 TL Chili powder (1-2 tsp; adjust according to desired spiciness)
3 EL Oil (for heating)
2 EL Soy sauce
2 EL Tahini
Pasta water (Reserve some cooking water and use as needed)
Sesame seeds (for garnish)
Cilantro or fresh herbs (as desired, for garnish)
Lime juice or rice vinegar (optional, to taste)

Steps

1
Cook the noodles according to the package instructions. Reserve some pasta water when draining and set it aside.
2
Thinly slice the scallions and mince the garlic.
3
Place the scallions, garlic, and chili powder in a heatproof bowl.
4
Heat the oil. Carefully pour it over the scallion, garlic, and chili mixture, as the hot oil may splatter.
5
Let the mixture sit briefly so the flavors can develop and the hot oil can infuse the ingredients.
6
Add the soy sauce and tahini to the bowl and stir everything into a creamy sauce.
7
Gradually stir in some of the reserved pasta water. Add it by the spoonful until the sauce flows smoothly and reaches the desired consistency.
8
Add the cooked noodles to the sauce and toss thoroughly until they are evenly coated.
9
Garnish the chili tahini noodles as desired with sesame seeds and cilantro or other fresh herbs.
10
Optionally finish the noodles with a splash of lime juice or rice vinegar.

Notes

Adjust the spiciness by varying the amount of chili powder; if needed, start with less and add more later. A splash of lime juice or rice vinegar adds freshness and balances the heat. The reserved pasta water is important for combining the oil and tahini into a creamy sauce. The source does not specify exact amounts for the pasta water, sesame seeds, herbs, or lime juice or rice vinegar.
