Spicy Sesame Noodles with Wilted Greens

June 11, 2020 By Shannah Coe Leave a Comment

Quick and easy meals are a must during busy evenings. Spicy sesame noodles with wilted greens is ready super quickly and has tons of flavor with just a few ingredients.

Even though we are in quarantine, we are super busy with work and trying to home school our two kids. I find myself turning to quick recipes that just need a few ingredients when making dinner for the family. These spicy sesame noodles are perfect for that and, with a side of wilted greens, you have a full dinner that is so easy!

The spice level of these spicy sesame noodles is easily changed. I like our extra spicy so I use spicy sesame oil and top the dish with sriracha sesame seeds too. You can tone down the spice by using regular sesame oil, cutting down on the crushed red pepper, and using regular sesame seeds as the garnish.

When I am feeling a lighter meal, I swap out the spaghetti for zucchini noodles. It is a great way to lower the carb count on this dish but still keep lots of the flavor.

For the wilted greens, I prefer baby spinach but also use kale or baby bok choy depending on what I have in the refrigerator. A combination of any of these would be great too.
