This custom cook is based on the classic takeout dish, sesame noodles. Tofu and broccoli are added to turn this dish into a delicious meal. Both tahini and sesame oil are added to give the dish a savory sesame flavor. If you don't have tahini or sesame paste on hand, feel free to use peanut butter instead (this will turn it into peanut butter noodles!). This dish would be delicious served warm or cold.
