Vegan Dan Dan Udon

Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 5 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cloves minced garlic
  • 2 tbsp chili flakes
  • 2 tbsp roasted sesame seeds
  • 3 tbsp vegetable oil (heated)
  • 2 tbsp black vinegar or rice wine vinegar
  • 4 tbsp Lee Kum Kee Premium Soy Sauce
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar or honey
  • 2 tbsp peanut butter or sesame paste
  • 2 packages udon
  • 1/2 cucumber (julienned)
  • 1 cup spinach (boiled)

Instructions
 

  • In a large pot, boil your udon according to package instructions. Drain under cold water, and in the same pot you can cook any vegetables you have. I chose spinach as I had a large bag in my refrigerator.
  • In a heatproof bowl (this is very important!) combine your garlic, chili powder and sesame seeds. Pour hot oil over these ingredients and stir.
  • Add your vinegar, soy sauce, sugar and peanut butter (or sesame paste) and stir to combine.
  • Add your udon noodles and stir to combine.
  • Top with your desired vegetables - I had cucumber and spinach on hand. Garnish with chili oil (if you like it spicy!) and peanuts.
