Ingredients

Noodles

  • 10 ounces udon noodles (can use soba or spaghetti)

Sesame Sauce

  • 3 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
  • 1/4 cup tamari or lite soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup seasoned rice vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
  • 1/2 garlic clove
  • 2 teaspoons sriracha (plus more to taste)

Toppings

  • Chopped roasted peanuts
  • Thinly sliced scallions
  • Sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Cook the noodles: Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the udon noodles and cook according to the package directions until tender. Drain and rinse the noodles with cold water to stop cooking and cool them down. Transfer the cooled noodles to a large mixing bowl.
  2. Prepare the sauce: While the noodles cook, combine the toasted sesame oil, tamari or lite soy sauce, seasoned rice vinegar, peanut butter, light brown sugar, minced fresh ginger, half a garlic clove, and 2 teaspoons of sriracha in a blender or food processor. Blend on high speed until the sauce is completely smooth and creamy. Taste and add additional sriracha if more heat is desired.
  3. Toss and serve: Pour the blended sauce over the noodles in the large bowl. Toss thoroughly to ensure every strand is coated evenly with the flavorful sauce. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve each portion topped with chopped roasted peanuts, thinly sliced scallions, and a sprinkle of sesame seeds for crunch and garnish.

Notes

  • Udon noodles provide a chewy texture but soba or spaghetti noodles work well as substitutes.
  • Adjust sriracha to your preferred spice level.
  • If peanut allergy is a concern, substitute peanut butter with tahini or sunflower seed butter.
  • You can prepare the sauce in advance and refrigerate it for up to 3 days.
  • For extra protein, top with grilled chicken or tofu.
