Sesame cold noodles is a recipe that combines oriental flavors with personal touches that vary depending on the region and who prepares it. Its origin dates back to traditional Chinese cuisine, where noodles have been served cold for centuries, accompanied by sauces based on sesame, soy, and other ingredients that enhance their flavor. In different Latin American countries, this preparation may have various names and adaptations; for example, in Mexico and Argentina, it is usually simply called "cold noodles with sesame sauce," while in Peru and Chile, it is known as "Asian-style noodle salad." The Chinese influence in Latin American cuisine has allowed this recipe to become popular and be adapted with local ingredients and personal tastes.
These cold noodles are ideal for hot days, as they are served fresh and with a creamy and delicious mixture that combines peanut butter with spicy and salty touches, thanks to the soy sauce and Tabasco. Nancy's recipe is characterized by its simplicity and the perfect balance of flavors, making this dish a pleasant and easy-to-prepare experience at home.
