Sesame Brown Butter Noodles

Thick chewy noodles are coated in a buttery, umami sauce and topped with fresh green onions and toasted sesame seeds. Quick. Simple. Delicious. 

My son was home and not feeling well so I made this easy sesame brown butter noodles recipe from Recipe Luxury for lunch. The brown butter, soy sauce, and toasted sesame oil gave the noodles a big boost of flavor and they were very tasty.

Sesame Brown Butter Noodles

Ingredients:

• 16 oz udon noodles,  **Fresh noodles are best
• 4 tbsp unsalted butter
• 3 tbsp soy sauce
• 2 tbsp toasted sesame oil
• 1-2 tsp brown sugar, to taste
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 tsp grated ginger

Serving:

• Toasted sesame seeds
• Green onion, sliced
• Spicy Chili crisp

How to Make Sesame Brown Butter Noodles

Cook the noodles per the packet instructions; drain.  Side Note: If the noodles are sticking together, rinse them. My udon noodles did not stick together. 

Brown the butter by melting it in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, swirling often until the butter begins to brown and has a nutty aroma.

Remove from the heat and immediately stir in the heat and whisk in the soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger.

Finish the dish by adding the drained noodles to the large skillet and place on the stovetop over medium heat. Toss to coat the noodles evenly and cook for 2-3 minutes.

Serve immediately topped with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onion. Enjoy.
