My kids love spaghetti and meatballs, so we eat it all the time. And by all the time I mean my kids want it every day, for lunch, and for dinner. I do not love spaghetti and meatballs, I don’t have anything against the dish but after having my kids dance around the house chanting that they want meatballs every night I have eaten the noodles and red sauce too often. But because my kids love it (and eat it without complaining) I keep making it. A while back I ran into a super simple sesame noodle recipe by the Pioneer Woman, and I love it. I can make spaghetti and meat balls for the kids and
I can
eat something a little different without a lot of hassle.
This
simple sesame noodle recipe is basic enough that it is easy to incorporate into
your food storage menu. I buy my soy
sauce and garlic powder at Sam’s club, and the sesame oil and hot chili oil at Wal-Mart.
Haven’t tried Siracha? Go get yourself some. It is amazing . But be warned it is super spicy, start with
just a few drops, a little goes a long way.
