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! <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/smiley.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="">

well, sesame oil and scallions and chopped tofu with a splash of soy sauce, are always tasty with udon noodles..<br><br><br><br>
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.<br><br><br><br>
Or, you could stir-fry them with a sweet and sour sauce:<br><br><br><br>
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.

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

Tri cooked that one for me when I was visiting him and it's really yummy. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/smiley.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title=""> (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.
