This is a very tasty treat for the middle of the week. It's much healthier than most Asian take out from restaurants, contains far less salt, and you can add any protein you want. This is a great recipe if you have some leftover grilled chicken or steak from a previous night but aren't sure to give it some life. With all the fresh vegetables that are hidden inside the noodles and sauce, the ratio of "good" to "not so good" is far outweighed for a very delicious home-cooked version of udon stir fry.

Ingredients

Directions

Bring 3 quarts of water to boil in a large pot. In a 2nd pot or via another mechanism, steam your broccoli florets for 3-5 minutes until they are soft but not mushy or fully cooked and set them aside. While they steam, cut your bell peppers into thin strips and top & tail your green beans. In a wok or large non-stick skillet, heat your oil on high and once it is smoking drop in your green beans and bell peppers. Keep tossing the vegetables on high eat with an aim to char the outsides but not overcook them - about 3-4 minutes.

Stir Fry

Once done, turn off the heat and add in your broccoli, garlic, and chili pepper flakes and let them all steam together staying warm in the skillet or wok.

Your water should be boiling now, so drop in your udon noodles and cook for the time required on the packaging. Once done, strain and rinse with cold water to stop them from cooking. Mease out the correct amount of noodles and veggies into 4 bowls for serving. In the pot used to make the noodles, add one serving at a time to the pot along with that person's sauce of choice and turn on high heat to stir fry together to incorporate. Once piping hot and mixed, add back to that person's empty bowl and repeat for the rest of the servings.
