I have a habit of buying spices and speciality rice/noodles that I keep around for days like today. I was just cooking dinner for myself. Nothing sounded good. I didn't want to spend an hour making a meal and I definitely didn't want take-out. So, I saw I had udon noodles...and peanut butter...hmm...why not make udon with peanut sauce? Awesome!

Ingredients
  • One bundle of Clearspring Organic Wheat Brown Rice Udon noodles
  • 2 tablespoons of Tree of Life Organic Creamy Peanut Butter
  • 2 tablespoons of Eden Organic Tamari Soy Sauce
  • 1/4 cup of water
  • 1 tablespoon of Florida Crystals Organic Brown Sugar
  • juice from one organic lemon
(you can also use 1-2 cloves of garlic, but I didn't have any...nor did I find the dish lacking because of its absence)

Noodles
There are three bundles per package; one bundle makes a 1-2 servings.
Boil 8 cups of water
Allow noodles to boil for about 6-7 minutes
(they begin to twirl in the water when they're done)
I removed the pot from the burner and kept the noodles in the water until the sauce was done, don't strain it!

Peanut sauce
Mix peanut butter, soy sauce, water, brown sugar, lime juice, and optional garlic in a saucepan until peanut butter melts.

Toss in the noodles and stir into sauce.

Yum! Eat!
