2 tspsesame oil

1 Tbspsweet chili sauce

½ tspmaple syrup

3 Tbspwater

Instructions

Step 1

Peel and mince the garlic cloves and peel and grate the ginger.

Step 2

Add olive oil to a frying pan or wok on medium heat and sauté the minced garlic and grated ginger, stirring frequently.

Step 3

Slice the mushrooms, add to the pan and continue stirring while you prepare the remaining veggies. Thinly slice the red pepper, slice the carrot into matchsticks and cut the broccoli into small florets.

Step 4

Once the mushrooms have cooked down, add the remaining veggies.

Step 5

While that cooks, prepare the sauce by mixing together nut butter (I used almond butter), soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, sweet chili sauce, maple syrup and water. Whisk together until the sauce is well combined.

Step 6

Add the udon noodles to the pan and cover them with veggies (this will help heat the noodles so that they separate). After a few minutes, you should be able to start separating them using a wooden spoon.

Step 7

Once the noodles are well mixed into the veggies, pour in the nut sauce, mix well, then remove from heat after a couple of minutes.

Step 8

Serve with sesame seeds and green onions, and enjoy!
