Ingredients

6 oz Roland® Organic Udon Noodles

1 tablespoon dark soy sauce

2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce

2 teaspoons sesame seeds (plus additional for garnish)

2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes

1 tablespoon Roland® Sriracha Chili Sauce

2 cloves garlic, finely minced

1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, finely chopped

2 green onions, chopped (plus additional for garnish)

1/4 cup neutral oil

Instructions

Step 1: Boil the udon noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, rinse them under cold water briefly to stop the cooking process, then drain well and set aside.

Step 2: Heat the neutral oil in a saucepan over medium heat until it is sizzling hot but not smoking.

Step 3: Place the noodles in a large bowl. Add the dark soy sauce, low sodium soy sauce, sesame seeds, crushed red pepper flakes, chopped green onions, minced garlic, chopped cilantro, and Sriracha chili sauce on top of the noodles.

Step 4: Carefully pour the hot oil over the noodles and the seasonings. Toss everything together quickly to coat the noodles evenly with the spicy garlic oil mixture.

Step 5: Garnish with extra chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving for added flavor and crunch.

Tips & Variations

Use gluten-free noodles if you want a gluten-free version without sacrificing flavor.

Add a squeeze of fresh lime juice for a bright, tangy contrast to the spicy oil.

For a milder dish, reduce the crushed red pepper flakes and Sriracha to taste.

Top with a soft-boiled egg or sautéed vegetables to make it a more filling meal.
