Ingredients
- 400 g Udon noodles
- 60 ml Low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tbsp Sesame oil
- 3 medium stalks Fresh celery stalks
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp Fresh ginger, grated
- 2 tbsp Sesame seeds
- 2 stalks Spring onions, sliced
- 0.5 tsp Red chili flakes
- 1 medium Lime, juiced
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the udon noodles according to package instructions. Once cooked, drain and rinse under cold water. Set aside.
Step 2
While the noodles are cooking, prepare the sauce by combining the low-sodium soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger in a small bowl. Mix until well blended.
Step 3
Wash the celery stalks and slice them thinly at an angle to create diagonal pieces. This not only looks appealing but ensures the celery cooks quickly.
Step 4
In a large skillet or wok, toast the sesame seeds over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until golden brown and fragrant. Remove the seeds and set aside.
Step 5
In the same skillet, add a small splash of sesame oil and heat over medium-high heat. Add the sliced celery and stir-fry for about 5 minutes, or until it becomes tender-crisp.
Step 6
Add the cooked udon noodles to the skillet with the celery. Pour the prepared sauce over the noodles and toss everything together until evenly coated.
Step 7
Add the sliced spring onions and red chili flakes to the skillet and stir well. Allow everything to heat through for about 2 minutes.
Step 8
Squeeze the juice of one lime over the noodles, add the toasted sesame seeds, and give it a final toss.
Step 9
Serve the low sodium sesame udon warm, garnished with additional spring onions and chili flakes if desired.
