Sesame Noodles

At my favorite Chinese restaurant, I always order "cold sesame noodle"-- a super yummy appetizer of plain noodles tossed in some kind of sweet and sour sesame dressing. I tried re-creating this in my lunch today. Tahini, rice wine vinegar, salt, soy sauce and a dash of sesame oil tossed with cooked Udon noodles. It came close but just wasn't the same. I sprinkled a little diced red and orange bell pepper on top of the noodles for some color and crunch.

In the other compartment, I made a beautiful salad of cucumber, tangerine, orange, and beet flowers. Juicy, crunchy and sweet!
