Instructions

1
Bring salted water to a boil in a pot and cook the noodles according to the package instructions (al dente).
2
While the noodles are cooking, mix the tahini, soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, maple syrup, garlic and ginger in a large bowl. Whisk until the sauce is completely smooth.
3
Gradually add warm water (you can use the pasta cooking water) until you get a creamy, pourable texture that will nicely coat the noodles.
4
Drain the cooked noodles and immediately, while still hot, toss them into the bowl with the sauce. Mix well so that each noodle is coated in the dressing.
5
Add the sliced cucumbers and carrots and toss again briefly.
6
Divide the dish into bowls, sprinkle with spring onion and sesame seeds. Serve warm or at room temperature.
