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).
