Hey! I've had an unopened package of udon noodles in my pantry forever - anyone know of any good recipes I could try with them? Oh, and I'm a strict vegan. Thanks!

 

[icicle]

well, sesame oil and scallions and chopped tofu with a splash of soy sauce, are always tasty with udon noodles..

sorry i don't have more of a recipe!

I suggest adding hot chiles (fresh thai chiles are my current addiction) to what icicle suggested.

Or, you could stir-fry them with a sweet and sour sauce:

equal parts soy sauce, sugar (unrefined sugar, brown rice syrup -- something sweet) and rice vinegar, mixed with grated or minced ginger, garlic and thai chiles (or cayenne, or hot sauce) to taste. Bring the mixture to a boil, simmer a couple of minutes and toss with cubes of tofu and the udon noodles.

Udon noodles with asparagus

5-8 spears of asparagus (cut into sections)

handfull of chopped snowpeas

1 package of udon noodles

several leaves of bok choy (chopped up)

handfull of cashews

3 cloves of garlic (minced)

soy sauce

seasame oil

canola oil

heat a wok to a medium-high heat with canola oil and then add the asparagus. Cook for a couple fo minutes and then add the noodles, snow peas, garlic and cashews. Fry until the vegetables are tender then add a shot of soy sauce and sesame oil then the bok choy. Stir together and fry until the bok choy is cooked.

I second icicle's suggestion. Sesame oil and green onions are the best combination ever!

Wow! All those sound soooo delicious! Thanks so much!

Tri cooked that one for me when I was visiting him and it's really yummy.

(at least I think that's the one he cooked)

That was what I made but without the bok choy and I think I might have been out of sesame oil.
