14ozudon noodlescooked & drained per package instructions
1tbspbutter
1tbsppeanut or vegetable oil
4-5green onionstrimmed, cut into 2" lengths, white parts separated from green parts
2-3garlic clovesminced
Serving:
Toasted sesame seeds
Spicy chili crisp
Instructions
Make the sauce by combining the soy sauce, dark soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, white pepper, and water, to taste, together in a small jar; whisk well and set aside until needed.
Cook the noodles in a large saucepan per the packet instructions; drain. Side Note: If the noodles are sticking together, rinse them. My udon noodles did not stick together.
Sauté the green onion by heating the butter and peanut or vegetable oil in a large wok or large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the white portion of the green onions and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute.
Add the garlic and cook, constantly stirring, for 30 seconds.
Finish by adding the drained noodles and the well-whisked sauce and toss to coat for 1-2 minutes. Side Note: Don’t skip this step, the flavor is so much better when the noodles are caramelized slightly. If your stove isn’t very hot, cook a little longer.
Add the green portion of the green onions and toss until just wilted, about 20 seconds.
Serve immediately with toasted sesame seeds and spicy chili crisp, if desired.
