Sesame Vegetable Noodles G.F.

I love the fragrant taste of sesame noodles, but I never actually had a recipe to make them. So, I was delighted to find a great sesame vegetable noodle recipe on the blog, " NO REASON NEEDED" which is my Secret Recipe Club assignment for August.

What a treat. It was so much fun browsing through the blog assignment, NO REASON NEEDED" , and looking at all the wonderful recipes. I couldn't actually find the author's name on her blog, so I apologize for not introducing her.

For those who are new to my blog, the Secret Recipe Club is a club for the blogging community. The creation of Amanda of Amanda's Cookin', the Secret Recipe Club is published monthly. This is how it works. Each participant is asked to choose a recipe from an assigned blog of a fellow participant. All participants publish at the same time and same day, thus revealing the secrets! I love the Secret Recipe Club because it always challenges me to try something new that I wouldn't ordinarily make, and it introduces me to new bloggers.

This sesame noodle recipe is loaded with vegetables and healthy spices, just the way I like it! We had it for dinner and everyone voted the recipe a winner! You could add tofu is you wanted to make it a meal in itself.

To make it gluten free friendly, I made the following substitutions to the recipe that I chose from

1. I used gluten free brown rice pasta instead of wheat noodles.

2. I used zucchini and carrots as my vegetables ( just what I had a lot of)

3. I used Bragg's amino acid as my soy sauce because it is sometimes difficult to find gluten free soy sauce.

Bring 10 cups of salted water and 1 TBSP olive oil to a boil. Add brown rice pasta and cook until just soft . Drain in a colander and wash with cold water to remove starch and keep the pasta from sticking together. Set aside.
