Ingredients
- 7 oz udon noodles or noodle of choice; approx. 200g
- 4 green onions thinly sliced; white ends removed; also called scallions
- 4 cloves garlic minced; approx. 2 tbsp or 28g
- 2 tsp red pepper flakes adjust to taste
- 1 tsp Kashmiri chili powder or any mild chili powder; approx. 2g
- 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce approx. 60ml
- 1 tsp granulated sugar approx. 4g
- 2 tbsp butter or plant-based margarine; approx. 28g
- 2 tsp sesame oil approx. 9g
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil for pouring over the aromatics; approx. 50g
Optional Toppings
- cilantro leaves optional
- sesame seeds optional; for garnish
Instructions
- Cook the noodles according to package directions, then drain and set aside.
- While the noodles cook, add the sliced green onions, minced garlic, red pepper flakes, chili powder, soy sauce, and sugar to a medium heatproof bowl.
- In a small skillet, heat the butter and sesame oil over medium heat until sizzling and very hot.
- Carefully pour the hot butter mixture over the ingredients in the heatproof bowl. It will bubble and sizzle—this is expected! Stir to combine once the bubbling subsides.
- Add the drained noodles to the bowl and toss until evenly coated.
- Serve immediately, topped with fresh cilantro leaves and sesame seeds (if using).
