Rose's Noodles, Dumplings, & Sweets (Durham)

Rose's is right outside of downtown Durham, and self-described as an "East Asian inspired eatery" and bakery.

They're pretty meat-focused but are open to leaving the meat off the dish if you ask. I prefer to avoid kitchen mishaps and just went for the "House Shan-Xi Noodles - Spicy Sesame Sauce, Vegetables, Greens (vegan, Gluten Free Noodles Available)."

First glance

After stirring everything together

Sweet beejebus was that spicy sesame sauce good! Another favorite element for me were the strips of smoky mushroom. While I usually don't care for broad noodles, these were the perfect texture. The only complaint to be had was that the greens could've been chopped into smaller bits. Otherwise, would definitely eat this again.
