Total Time 15 minutes
Servings 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 16 oz thick cut udon noodles
  • 1 cucumber
  • 1 block extra firm tofu optional for protein
  • scallions garnish
  • sesame seeds garnish

Peanut Sauce

  • 1/2 cup unsweetened peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
  • 2 tsp sriracha
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp minced or powdered garlic
  • 1 tsp minced or powdered ginger
  • 1/2 cup hot water

Instructions

  • First, boil the noodles according to box instructions. Save hot water for the sauce.
  • Whisk together dressing ingredients in a large bowl.
  • Spiralize or thinly slice cucumber.
  • Cut tofu into thin slices or cubes and air-fry, bake or sauté. I suggest sautéing in a little oil until golden on both sides, then add a little coconut aminos or soy sauce to the pan and saute on low until absorbed. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top of the tofu.
  • Add noodles to the sauce bowl when they're done cooking, then add in the cucumbers. Toss until well combined.
  • Serve in bowls, add the tofu on top with the sesame seed and scallion garnish.
  • Enjoy!
