Bring on the Veg

b) Cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1-2 mins.

Simmer your Sauce

b) Bring to the boil, then simmer until slightly reduced, 2-3 mins.

c) Meanwhile, crush the peanuts in the unopened sachet using a rolling pin.

Add the Udon
5

a) Add the udon noodles to the pan.

b) Toss to coat in the sauce, using a fork to gently separate them. Simmer until piping hot, 1-2 mins.

Enjoy!

  • Ease of prep: Quick and easy to prepare, with most customers appreciating the speedy cooking time.
  • Suggestions: Consider using egg noodles instead of udon for a lighter texture. Try adding onions or chillies for extra flavour.
