How to Make Spicy Udon Salad

  1. Cook 8 oz udon noodles in a large pot of boiling water for 5-7 minutes, or until tender but still slightly firm. Drain and rinse immediately under cold water to stop the cooking process.
  2. Chill the noodles in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes to allow them to fully cool.
  3. While noodles chill, prepare your vegetables: thinly slice 1 cup of red bell pepper, 1 cup broccoli florets, and 1/2 cup shredded carrots.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons tamari (or soy sauce), 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 teaspoon sriracha (or more, to taste), and 1/2 teaspoon grated ginger.
  5. In a large bowl, combine the chilled udon noodles, bell pepper, broccoli, and carrots.
  6. Pour the dressing over the noodles and vegetables, tossing gently to coat everything evenly.
  7. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup roasted peanuts and 1 tablespoon sesame seeds.
  8. Drizzle with 1-2 teaspoons of Szechuan chili oil (optional, for extra heat). Serve immediately and enjoy!
