Dragon Noodle Sauce?
The recipe for the sauce for these noodles seems a bit odd.
It seems like way too much Sesame oil.
!/2 cup oil is the whole little bottle they sell at my store for 5 bux!
am I buying the correct Sesame oil? It is very strong flavored, and I use it very sparingly in stir fries.
Thanks, Eric Austin Tx.

The total amount of liquid is 10oz, not including the chili oil. the sesame oil used is only 4oz. Sounds about right to me. The dish is called Sesame Noodles after all.  We buy large bottles of Sesame oil at the Asian market as we use it often.

That seems like a lot to me, too. I'd put together the other ingredients and then add sesame oil to your taste.

That recipe seems WAAAAAY off to me!
Way too much sauce for only a pound of noodles. And it's missing sugar
Look at this one instead

Voice of reason... I frequently adjust ingredients for sauces and marinades...

I use this recipe from the Dragon Lady and it's right the way it is. The noodles absorb a lot of liquid.

The Dragon Lady recipe is exactly right and it's one of the few recipes I've followed to the letter for several years. They are perfect every time for us.
Naturally, you can do whatever you want, but it won't be Dragon Lady noodles.

I was wondering the same thing. There's the toasted sesame oil, which is quite expensive and the untoasted, which is quite reasonable. Which one is it?
