Ingredients

Noodles

  • 10 oz (about 280g) fresh udon stir-fry noodles

Sauce

  • 2 tbsp smooth peanut butter
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
  • 1/2 lime, juiced (or 1 tbsp rice vinegar)
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2-inch piece of fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tsp sriracha sauce or chili flakes (optional)

Garnish

  • Chopped green onions
  • Peanuts
  • Black sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Cook the noodles: Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the fresh udon noodles and cook for about 2 minutes until tender but still chewy. Drain the noodles, reserving about 1/2 cup of the cooking water, and set aside.
  2. Prepare the peanut sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together the smooth peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice or rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey or maple syrup, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sriracha or chili flakes if using. Ensure the sauce is smooth and well combined.
  3. Toss noodles with sauce: Add the hot noodles to the bowl with the peanut sauce. Pour in a splash of the reserved cooking water and toss everything together until the noodles are evenly coated with the creamy sauce. Add more reserved water a little at a time if needed to reach a silky, saucy consistency.
  4. Serve and garnish: Divide the coated noodles into serving bowls. Garnish with chopped green onions, peanuts, and black sesame seeds to add texture and flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy!
