Udon Noodles with Vegetables and Soy Curls
Ingredients
- 4 servings soy curls, re-hydrated
- 4 servings noodles (I used 2 7.23 oz. packages pre-cooked udon noodles, discarding flavor packet)
- 1/4 bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1/2 large zucchini, chopped
- 1/4 red onion, finely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil for cooking the above
Sauce
- 6 tbsp soy sauce or sub tamari
- 2 tbsp agave
- 2 tbsp mirin
- 1 1/2 tbsp ginger paste
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp chili garlic sauce
- 4 tsp toasted sesame oil
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 tbsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp water to dissolve
Preparation
Add the sesame oil to a large pan, cook re-hydrated soy curls on medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring every so often.
Meanwhile, chop onion, garlic, peppers and zucchini. Add onion and garlic to pan, cook for 2 min, then add peppers and zucchini. Stir, cook another 2 min.
While veggies are cooking, cook and drain noodles according to package directions, and whisk together sauce in a bowl.
Add sauce to pan with soy curls and veggies, stir, allow to bubble for a minute to thicken, then add cooked noodles. Stir and serve, top with sesame seeds and more chili garlic sauce if you like it spicy!
