Ingredients:
1 Package Udon Noodles
6 Medium Shrimp
Mushrooms
Pickled Red Onions (recipe follows)
Fish Sauce or Soy Sauce for flavor
Directions:
- Fill a small saucepan with 2 cups of water and bring to a boil.
- Add noodles and seasoning packet that comes with it. If there's no season packet, add ginger and soy sauce. Add mushrooms and stir to break apart noodles.
- Add shrimp last, then remove from heat when the shrimp is done.
- If you have it, season with fish sauce, lime, and sriracha (or any chili garlic sauce.) In fact, if you have a full Asian pantry like I do, a teaspoon of shrimp paste really adds some umph to this.
- If you go the soy route instead, sesame oil is also a great flavor to add. Top with cilantro or your favorite fresh herb.
This was the quick meal that I made at lunch today. The onions I decided to add because they were left over from a Turkey Milanese meal that I made last night.
Pickled Onions
Combine 1/2 cup of red wine vinegar, 1/2 cup of water, 1 tablespoon of turbinado sugar, and 2 tablespoons of kosher or sea salt. Mix well, then add a half red onion thinly sliced. Cover and refrigerate at least one hour.
