These Tahini Buckwheat Noodles are definitely my boyfriend’s favorite, so in our household this dish is always a winner! 🙂 It really is the perfect combination of creamy noodle goodness with some crunchy- and squishiness! Apart from that, it’s loaded with nutrients – covering your daily recommended amounts of 36g protein, 12g fiber, 0.6mg manganese and way over 100% of your Vitamin A, C and K!

Tahini is definitely amongst my favorite nut/seed butters as I love its earthy taste and the fact that it’s full of healthy fats and amino acids. I always buy either whole or regular tahini and try to switch it up from time to time. Whole tahini is dark brown and much richer in its earthy taste!
