Back when I was on a soba noodle salad kick, I bought some dry udon noodles that were next to the soba noodles at the store.  Turns out the noodles aren’t real udon noodles since they were actually made of wheat flour instead of rice flower, but they were still really tasty.

Ingredients

makes 5 servings

• 1 package of dry udon noodles
• 1 shredded carrot
• 1 red pepper, chopped
• 2-3 cups of sugar snap peas
• 4-5 persian cucumbers, chopped
• 4-5 green onions, thinly sliced
• 2 Tablespoons of sesame seeds

Dressing:

• 3 Tablespoons of rice vinegar
• 5 Tablespoons of soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon of sesame oil

Cook noodles according to package.  In the boiling water, blanch the sugar snap peas for the last 30 seconds of cooking, rinse with cold water.  Chop/shred all vegetables.  Whisk together dressing ingredients and toss with noodles and vegetables.  Top with sesame seeds.
