How to Make Sesame Udon Noodles

  1. In a jar with a tight-fitting lid, whisk together the minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, rice vinegar, peanut oil, sesame oil, and hot pepper sauce.
  2. Secure the lid and shake vigorously to thoroughly combine the dressing.
  3. Set aside to allow the flavors to meld for at least 5 minutes.
  4. Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil.
  5. Add the udon noodles and cook according to package directions, usually about 3-5 minutes, until tender but still slightly firm.
  6. Drain the noodles well and transfer them to a large serving bowl.
  7. In a separate microwave-safe bowl, combine the sliced bell peppers, green onions, and frozen peas.
  8. Microwave on high for 1-2 minutes, or until the vegetables are heated through but still crisp-tender. Stir halfway through.
  9. Add the heated vegetables to the noodles in the serving bowl.
  10. Pour the prepared sesame dressing over the noodles and vegetables.
  11. Toss gently to coat everything evenly.
  12. Toast sesame seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, shaking or stirring frequently, until lightly browned and fragrant.
  13. Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds over the noodles and serve immediately.
