Feel free to swap tahini with almond butter for a twist or use tamari for a gluten-free option. Rinse the noodles thoroughly after cooking to achieve the perfect cool temperature for this dish. Customize with toppings like bell peppers, edamame, or avocado for added crunch and nutrition. Store leftovers separately to retain their texture and flavor, and remember to adjust seasoning before serving. Enjoy experimenting with this recipe!
