Ingredients
  

250g udon noodles

2 tablespoons chili oil (adjust to taste)

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 teaspoon rice vinegar

1/2 teaspoon sugar

2 green onions, finely chopped

1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds

Optional: 1/2 cup cooked protein (tofu, chicken, or shrimp)

Fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions
 

Cook the Udon Noodles: In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add the udon noodles and cook according to package instructions (usually 2-3 minutes). Once cooked, drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.

    Prepare the Sauce: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chili oil, minced garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and sugar. Mix thoroughly until the sugar dissolves.

      Combine Noodles and Sauce: Add the cooked udon noodles to the sauce in the mixing bowl. Toss gently to coat the noodles evenly with the sauce.

        Add the Toppings: Stir in the chopped green onions and, if using, the cooked protein. Toss again to mix well.

          Serve and Garnish: Plate the chili oil udon noodles and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds. Garnish with fresh cilantro for an extra flavor boost.
