Prep Time 10 minutes minutes
Cook Time 5 minutes minutes
Total Time 15 minutes minutes
Servings 4 servings
- 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
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!
