Ingredients
  

300g udon noodles

4 tablespoons chili oil

2 cloves garlic, finely minced

1-inch piece ginger, freshly grated

2 green onions, thinly sliced

1 red bell pepper, cored and thinly sliced

1 cup snap peas, ends trimmed

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 teaspoon granulated sugar

Salt, to taste

Toasted sesame seeds, for garnish

Fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish

Instructions
 

Cook the Udon Noodles: Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Carefully add the udon noodles and cook them according to the package directions, typically for 8-10 minutes. Once the noodles are al dente, drain them in a colander and rinse them under cold water to halt the cooking process. Set them aside to drain thoroughly.

    Prepare the Sauce: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the chili oil, soy sauce, sesame oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, and sugar until well combined. Taste the mixture and adjust the spiciness by adding more chili oil if desired.

      Sauté the Vegetables: Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add a splash of sesame oil. Once the oil is shimmering, add the sliced red bell pepper and snap peas. Stir-fry the vegetables for approximately 2-3 minutes until they begin to soften but retain a slight crunch, enhancing their vibrant colors and textures.

        Combine Noodles and Sauce: To the skillet, add the cooked udon noodles along with the prepared sauce. Using tongs or a spatula, toss everything together continuously for about 2-3 minutes, allowing the noodles to soak up the flavorful sauce. Taste and season with salt as needed.

          Finish and Serve: Once heated through, remove the skillet from the heat and fold in the sliced green onions. Transfer the flavorful noodle dish to serving plates and elegantly garnish with a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds and fresh cilantro leaves.

              - Presentation Tips: For an eye-catching presentation, gently twirl the noodles using a fork or tongs to form a nest shape in the center of each plate. Drizzle a small amount of the remaining chili oil around the rim of the plate and top with an additional sprinkle of sesame seeds for that perfect finishing touch. Enjoy!
