Ingredients
- 1 package (9 – 12 oz.) udon noodles
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 small onion, sliced
- 8 oz. mushrooms, sliced
- 1 large or 3 small zucchini, cut in half and sliced
- 3 – 4 scallions, cut into 1-inch pieces
- large handful bean sprouts
- handful of basil, whole leaf or roughly chopped
- 1/4 cup water or vegetable broth
- 3 tablespoons tamari, coconut amino’s or soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons pure maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, or to taste
- toasted sesame seeds, to garnish
Instructions
Cook the udon noodles as directed on the package and set them aside.
In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat, add onion (not the scallions), and cook for about 4 minutes or until onions soften. Add mushrooms and cook another 3 minutes. Add the zucchini, scallions, bean sprouts, basil, water/broth, tamari, maple syrup, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes, and cook another 3 – 4 minutes, or until the zucchini has just softened. A cover will help cook your vegetables faster. Remove from heat, add noodles to the pan, and toss together. You can also keep the noodles and vegetable mixture separate if you like and mix them in your bowl.
Serve in individual bowls with a little of the juice from the bottom of the wok/pan. Top with toasted sesame seeds (and more red pepper flakes if you like). A little sriracha wouldn’t hurt either!
Serves 3
Notes
Add some cubed firm or extra-firm tofu for added protein.
