Sesame & Vegetable Udon Noodles

Ingredients

• 1 carrot
• 1 cup broccoli (chopped)
• 1 brown onion (you can use another type of onion, whatever you have at home (red onion etc.))
• 1 tsp grated ginger
• 1/4 cauliflower head
• 1 cup red capsicum (pepper) (sliced capsicum )
• 2 tbsp roasted sesame oil
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1.5 tbsp sesame seeds (If you want to add extra flavour, you can toast the sesame seeds on a fry pan)
• salt & pepper (A generous amount)
• 279 gm udon noodles
• 2 tbsp olive oil

Steps

1. Boil a pot of water and add udon noodles to the water, once the water has come to the boil. Once cooked rinse with cold water and keep to the side.
2. On a chopping board cut the carrots and capsicum into sticks. Cut the cauliflower and broccoli into small florets.
3. In a wok or a large fry pan add olive oil and diced onion with the grated ginger. Once the onion has started to caramelise (brown) add all your vegetables. I usually start with my hard vegetables first and slowly add the softer ones to follow.
4. After a few minutes add the sesame oil, salt & pepper and soy sauce and give it a good mix.
5. Add the udon noodles into the wok/ pan and ensure everything is nicely mixed together, fusing the flavours.
6. Serve in a bowl and sprinkle some additional sesame seeds on top.
