What’s In This Peanut Udon Noodles Recipe?

Udon Noodles: I have a few boxes of these udon noodles in my pantry, and they were the perfect noodle for this dish! Udon noodles are a thick and hearty noodle which works really well with this creamy peanut sauce and crunchy veggies.
Peanut Butter: to give this dish a creamy peanut noodle vibe. Like my peanuts, I only use unsalted peanut butter to keep it healthy.
Sweet Chili Sauce: gives this dish a bright flavor and sweetness, I love adding this Thai Chili Sauce over noodles or rice, it has a great flavor and is vegan and gluten free.
Lime Juice: If you don’t have fresh limes, this bottled lime juice is actually a fantastic substitute. I always keep some in the pantry – it’s great for sauces, dips, or even for cocktails!
Sriracha – for a little heat! We go through this sriracha like crazy, its great on soups, curries, and noodle bowls like these curry noodles.
Green Onion
Kale and Bok Choy
Lightly Salted Peanuts: for a yummy, nutty crunch! I like to use only unsalted or lightly salted peanuts when I cook. Lightly salted peanuts won’t alter the taste of my recipes, which I prefer. I will always choose a lower sodium option if available!

How Do I Make This Peanut Butter Udon Noodle Bowl?

Cook udon noodles according to package instructions. 5 minutes before the noodles are done, add the kale and bok choy to the pot. Once the noodles are finished cooking, do not drain.
Take 1/3 cup of the cooking liquid and pour it on a separate bowl. Drain the remaining water from the udon noodles, akela, and bok choy.
To the cooking liquid, add the peanut butter and stir until peanut butter has melted in a hot broth. Add the sriracha, chili sauce, and lime juice.
Toss drained noodles in the peanut butter sriracha mixture until well coated. Add green onion, and toss with crushed peanuts. Enjoy!

Make Udon Stir Fry Vegetarian for a Healthy Version

This vegetarian peanut udon stir fry is a simple way to get extra veggies in your diet. I’m all about making recipes plant-based when I can. Vegetarian cooking does NOT have to be bland, boring, or flavorless… It’s quite the opposite when done right. By building meals around vegetarian pantry staples and swapping in a few plant-based ingredients you can make healthier meals for you and your family. I made a list of my 125 favorite vegan pantry ingredients that we use on a weekly basis, and check out all my vegetarian recipes here that are on The Herbeevore.
