10 minute Sesame Garlic Noodles

Sometimes pulling through the week, cooking every meal becomes a really big chore and starts to eat away time from your important tasks of the day. Here, i am making a real quick 10 min noodle dish which looks simple but is not short of flavors. Presenting Sesame Garlic Noodles.

Just a couple of weeks back, i made a big batch of non-fried mixed vegetable manchurian balls which i happily stored in the freezer to make myself some yummy manchurian any day without the hassle of spending another hour to make it from scratch. Today, i was really short on time with some assignments to complete but was yearning a hot comforting bowl of Manchurian gravy with noodles. My initial take was to just order take-out but then i remembered i had my freezer stocked and i quickly put together the manchurian gravy. Now, i was left to make the noodles. With just about half hour at hand to make and eat, i resorted to these quick stir fry noodles. Have a look !
