Ingredients

• 12 oz udon noodles
• 0.33 cup peanut butter (creamy)
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp rice vinegar
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp ginger, grated
• 2 tbsp water or vegetable broth
• 1 tbsp vegetable oil
• 1 cup carrots, julienned
• 1 whole red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 cup snap peas, trimmed
• 1 cup shiitake mushrooms, sliced
• 2 whole scallions, thinly sliced
• 1 tbsp sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
• 2 tbsp cilantro (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Cook the udon noodles according to the package instructions. Drain, rinse with cold water to prevent sticking, and set aside.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey or maple syrup, minced garlic, grated ginger, and water or vegetable broth until smooth and set aside.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil.

Step 4

Once the oil is hot, add the carrots, red bell pepper, snap peas, and shiitake mushrooms to the skillet. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.

Step 5

Lower the heat to medium and add the cooked udon noodles to the skillet with the vegetables.

Step 6

Pour the peanut sauce over the noodles and vegetables. Toss everything together until the noodles and vegetables are evenly coated with the sauce.

Step 7

Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently to ensure the sauce is warmed through.

Step 8

Remove from heat, garnish with sliced scallions, sesame seeds, and chopped cilantro if desired, and serve immediately.
