When I am home for a chunk of time, it’s nice. I get into a good routine of being in the kitchen and creating new recipes. I’ve found that when I’m in a good groove, I get super excited about the recipes I’m going to share.

Of course, if my time at home is too long, that’s not good either. But right now, I’m in a GOOD recipe routine and so excited about every dish I have lined up for you all. And these noodles are currently at the very, very top of my list.

I don’t know what it is about the simple, quick, and cozy recipes, but I find them so fun to create. And even better, they’re the yummiest to enjoy and share with family and friends!

We’ve had some crazy cold weather all month long, it was -15 on Saturday. The chili temperatures mean I’m making soups and saucy, spicy noodles.

These noodles are the biggest bowl of comfort food, yet they’re full of healthy mixed vegetables and chicken.

I even use a gluten-free udon noodle! This came out so good. I’ve already made it three times. We love this recipe!

Here are the details

Ingredients

• udon noodles – I use Lotus Foods brown rice udon. You could also use spaghetti
• tamari or use soy sauce
• chili paste – I like to use half gochujang and half sambal oelek
• rice vinegar
• lemon juice
• honey
• toasted sesame oil
• garlic
• ginger
• chicken – I use thinly sliced breasts or thighs, or use ground chicken
• a bag of frozen stir-fry vegetables – edamame, broccoli and bell peppers
• scallions – lots of them
• toasted sesame seeds
• fresh Thai basil or cilantro

Special Tools

You need a big skillet for these noodles.

Steps

Step 1: cook the noodles

Cook the noodles according to the package directions, as each brand/variety will vary.

Most will tell you to cook the noodles as you would pasta, then rinse under water to stop the cooking.

Step 2: the sauce

While the noodles are cooking, mix the sauce. It’s a mix of tamari, chili paste, rice vinegar, lemon juice, honey, toasted sesame oil, garlic, and ginger.

Then, add some water to dilute it a bit.

Like most of my Asian-inspired dishes, I love to use chili paste. More often than not, I use gochujang, a Korean chili paste. This really provides that extra flavor. For these noodles I used a mix of the Mother in Law’s brand original flavor and sambal oelek. You can use your favorite or a mix of the two.

Step 3: cook the chicken and the vegetables

Now, in a big skillet, cook the chicken, then mix in the vegetables. Use your favorite mix of veggies!

Let the chicken cook fully, and the vegetables soften.

Step 4: add the sauce

Next, mix in the sauce and then add the noodles. Cook a few minutes until the sauce coats the chicken, vegetables, and noodles.

It happens really fast, so be on the lookout to avoid over-cooking the noodles.

Now serve the noodles in bowls with lots and lots of toasted sesame seeds. Then I add Thai basil or cilantro.

It’s so fast, and you’ll get the yummiest, cozy bowl of noodles!
