Garlic Sesame Noodles

Easy peasy take-out style sesame noodles for those busy weeknights! It’s a simple, quick 30-min meal the whole family will LOVE!

Remember when I went to Brooklyn a few weeks back?

I had that epic pizza slice. With actual pizza toppings.

I know. It was kind of insane.

But.

I didn’t just go for the pizza.

I mean. I did.

But I also went to attend an exclusive LEAN CUISINE tasting experience hosted at the Museum of Food and Drink.

Aka. MOFAD.

I know.

There’s a legit museum of food and drink.

And I was fortunate enough to explore their popular exhibit, Chow: Making the Chinese American Restaurant.

The takeout boxes were hanging so beautifully from floor to ceiling, yet my eyes were glued to the fortune cookie dispensary.

Except.

Well, it didn’t quite fit in my travel bag to bring back to Los Angeles.

I did, however, fit 27 fortune cookies into my purse…

That I inhaled on the flight back home.

No, but really, it was such a treat to meet the LEAN CUISINE team of highly trained chefs.

I listened and watched in awe as they prepared a recipe inspired by their newest dish, learning about the nutrition and care that goes into each of their recipes.

And the highlight of the night was clearly this.

Their newest flavor of all: Garlic Sesame Noodles with Beef, made completely from scratch using fresh, quality ingredients – and something I really needed to faceplant myself into.

I got so excited, I immediately hopped on a flight back to LA with all those “stolen” fortune cookies.

But really, I needed to make this noodle dish for myself.

I tried to stick to the original recipe as much as possible, with garlic noodles, flank steak (LEAN CUISINE chefs used prime rib beef), carrots, bell peppers, and garlic with a soy garlic sauce.

So I’ll be here, skipping date night and eating up all these garlic noodles, and all of my fortune cookies for dessert.
