I first had these at a little lunch counter in the building that I worked in. They were very popular and my absolute favorite! The woman who owned the lunch counter also had a catering company and when I went to work for her during the holidays I asked for the recipe and she gave it to me! 
Now I can have them anytime and they are great to keep in the fridge for a quick something or to take to a barbecue or potluck. I promise they will be well received!

Just updating this — I realized I gave it no stars the first time I reviewed! These are very good. I skimped on the sesame oil the first time and have made them again with the called for amount and have added rice wine vinegar. All-in-all good sesame noodles!!

I did find these a bit bland and VERY sticky. I did not have carrots, so they were not added, but otherwise followed the recipe. I think next time I will add some rice vinegar and /or lime juice as suggested previously to try and make it not so sticky.

Mmmmmm. Very, very good!! I used Japanese Soba noodles and it was SO tasty. I made with lime-cilantro shrimp (Lime-Cilantro Shrimp). Made an awesome meal!!! I'll be keeping this recipe on hand. Thank for an easy and wonderful recipe. Oh.. I also added matchstick cucumber.

I have been looking for a great sauce for cold sesame noodles, and found it. I did modify it slightly though and found the results outstanding. Based on previous reviews, I used 8oz of pasta instead of 16. I also increased the amount of warm water from 3T to 6T (and the flavor was not diluted). I added 2T of rice wine vinegar for punch, and about 1/4tsp of crushed red pepper for a mild heat (will use 1/2 tsp next time). This recipe is a winner.
