You can mix the sesame in the syrup or sprinkle on the noodles while serving .
Instead of sesame you can use roasted almond flakes.
You can fry noodles before and store it in a air tight container and use it when required.
You can add butter to the syrup.
My friend tried it with regular fine Chinese noodles.
