Peanut Sauce Udon Noodles Recipes

UDON PEANUT BUTTER NOODLES

Steps:

• Bring a large pot with lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Drop the udon in a few noodles at a time and return to a boil. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain; return to the pot.
• While the udon noodles are cooking, whisk the chicken broth, ginger, soy sauce, peanut butter, honey, chile oil, and garlic in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, whisking until the peanut butter has melted. Pour the sauce over the noodles. Add the chicken and red bell pepper; toss until the noodles are evenly coated in the sauce. Sprinkle with green onions, chopped peanuts, and cilantro to serve.

VEGETARIAN UDON NOODLES WITH PEANUT SAUCE

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook udon in boiling water, stirring occasionally, until noodles are tender yet firm to the bite, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Meanwhile, pat tofu dry and cut into small cubes; set aside. Place cabbage, carrot, red pepper, and scallions in a large bowl.
• Whisk together vegetable broth, peanut butter, brown sugar, soy sauce, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, and cayenne pepper in a small saucepan over low heat. Bring mixture to a simmer and whisk constantly until thickened, about 1 minutes. Set peanut sauce aside to cool.
• Drain noodles in a colander and rinse with cool water to refresh. Add noodles to the cabbage mixture. Add peanut sauce and tofu; toss gently to mix. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

PEANUT SAUCE UDON NOODLES

Steps:

• Heat water in a large saucepan. Add salt. Once it starts to boil, add noodles. Give it a quick stir and boil for 9-12 minutes (or as instructed in the packaging).
• Once it's boiled, turn off the heat and drain. Drizzle a bit of olive oil and gently mix using 2 forks. This prevents the noodles from sticking (and drying out) while we're preparing the rest of the ingredients.
• In a mixing bowl, add all the peanut sauce ingredients. Stir and mix until smooth. If you're using crunchy peanut butter (like I have) you might have to stir it vigorously. Set aside.
• Set a saute pan over medium heat. Add oil.
• Once it's hot, add ginger + garlic and stir-saute until golden, around 1-2 minutes.
• Add mushroom + broccoli and stir-saute for 1-2 minutes. Pour in 2 tablespoons of water. Cover the pan and let it cook for 2-3 minutes.
• Add the boiled noodles + carrots + peanut sauce. Gently fold and mix until the noodles are completely coated with the sauce.
• Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds. Serve hot or cold.
