    Gluten Free Spicy Sesame Noodles is the kind of crowd-pleasing recipe every gluten free cook needs in their back pocket. With a velvety smooth mayonnaise dressing and just the right kick of heat, this noodle salad is my go-to dish for summer potlucks and barbecues, it gets rave reviews every time.

    I love to take this salad for a picnic with sesame baked chicken or for a simple summer dinner with any grilled meat. If you're serving dessert for a casual dinner homemade ice cream or grilled peaches would top off a summer meal!

    Ingredients for Spicy Sesame Noodles

    Finding gluten free noodles that don't break and taste delicious is now possible so don’t give up! There are great options out there, and once you find one your whole family loves, life in the kitchen just gets easier.

    A bowl with ingredients; gluten free noodles, green beans, sesame mayonnaise dressing, orange zest and chives.
    • Egg, rice vinegar, Dijon mustard, olive oil & vegetable oil - The basics for homemade mayonnaise.
    • Gluten free soy sauce & Oriental sesame oil - The additions for the Asian flavours.
    • Asian chili oil - For the heat you want in a cold noodle salad.
    • Orange zest
    • Gluten free spaghetti or thin linguini
    • Chives
    • Green beans - You need something green and beans are perfect.

    See recipe card for exact amounts.

    Instructions for Homemade Mayo

    Homemade mayo is rich and creamy and tastes nothing like the ultra processed versions we buy. In my opinion every cook should make the basic recipe at least once. Just so you know what everyone is talking about.

    The most important instruction is to add the oil in a slow steady stream. Focus on SLOW for the first one third of the addition, that's what makes it work.

    Instructions for Cooking Gluten Free Pasta

    Here are my best tips for cooking gluten free pasta for a noodle salad.

    • Focus on the time. Start by following the package directions and taste it. As little as 30 seconds too long (or not rinsing your pasta) can result in pasta that falls apart.
    • Always rinse cooked pasta with lukewarm water for hot dishes and cold water for cold salads. Drain well.
    • Try different kinds of pasta, lots of different kinds.

    Instructions for Snipping Fresh Chives

    A bamboo cutting board with 3 stems of chives, scissors and a pile of freshly snipped chives.

    When chives are in full bloom the stems with the blossom are too hard to eat but add a simple finishing touch when laid across the entire salad. For some colour, pluck the tiny purple petals and sprinkle them on the noodles.

    Substitutions & Variations

    Green Beans - Try blanched snow peas, asparagus or broccoli cut into bite size pieces.

    Sesame Mayo - I think the velvety smooth, homemade sesame mayo dressing makes this dish. I also think someone reading this wants to give it a try with store bought mayo and I say go for it!

    Asian chili oil - Substitute with your favourite hot sauce.

    Chives - Chopped green onion, the green part only, is the substitute. Growing chives is simple so some year you should try it!

    Get The Tools

    Whip up homemade mayonnaise in minutes using an immersion blender or food processor.

    Top Tip

    Grow edible flowers. A single plant of chives will grow in your garden for decades. Bachelor buttons and calendula seed themselves and I haven't replanted them for decades. Check out my post to see what flowers I grow and how I use edible flowers for garnishes.

    Ingredients

    SESAME MAYONNAISE

    • 1 egg
    • 2 egg yolks
    • 2½ tablespoon rice vinegar
    • 2½ tablespoon gluten free soy sauce
    • 3 tablespoon Dijon mustard
    • ¼ cup Oriental sesame oil
    • 1 cup olive oil
    • 1 cup vegetable oil
    • ½-1 teaspoon Asian chili oil or Tabasco sauce
    • 1 teaspoon orange zest finely chopped

    NOODLE SALAD

    • 1 lb gluten free spaghetti or thin linguini cooked according to package directions, rinsed and cooled
    • ½ cup chopped chives or green onions
    • 2 cups blanched green beans, snow peas, asparagus or broccoli cut into bite size pieces
    Prevent your screen from going dark

    Instructions

    SESAME MAYONNAISE

    • In a food processor or immersion blender process egg, yolks, rice vinegar, soy sauce and mustard for 30 seconds.
    • With the motor running slowly drizzle in the sesame oil then the vegetable and olive oils.
    • Season to taste with chili oil. Set aside.

    NOODLE SALAD

    • Add chives and orange zest to noodles then fold in 2 cups of sesame mayonnaise.
    • Fold vegetables into salad and stir to combine. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
    • Transfer to serving dish and garnish with chive stems and blossoms. Serve at room temperature.

    Notes

    This recipe makes 3 cups of Sesame Mayo, more than you need for the salad. Here are some ways to use it up.
    • As a dip for raw or grilled vegetables.
    • In an Asian chicken salad that you could invent with some leftover chicken.
    • On some kind of Asian inspired wrap or bowl.
    • Tuna or salmon salad, again with an Asian flare. Depending on your taste I typically make up these kind of dishes with some plain mayo out of the jar and the homemade mayo in an amount I think will taste great.
