UDON NOODLES WITH PEANUT BUTTER 🍜
Serves 2
Ingredients:
– 250 g udon noodles
– 2 tbsp peanut butter
– 1 tbsp chili oil (chili crisp)
– 2 garlic cloves, minced
– 1 green onion
– 1 tbsp sesame seeds
– 1 tbsp rice vinegar
– 2 tbsp soy sauce
– 80 ml neutral oil
– 1 lime
Preparation:
1. Cook the noodles in salted boiling water and remove them 30 seconds before the end of the time indicated on the package. Reserve a little cooking water before draining and rinsing them under cold water.
2. In a heatproof bowl, pour the peanut butter, minced garlic, chopped green onion, sesame seeds, rice vinegar, soy sauce, and chili oil.

Peanut butter, the new star for your savory plates!
If you used to enjoy peanut butter mainly in sweet recipes, you can absolutely incorporate it into savory preparations. Be sure to choose it carefully and opt for unsweetened peanut butter (or make your own by simply blending peanuts until you obtain a creamy texture). A true source of healthy fats, protein, fiber, and packed with nutrients, peanut butter is set to become your best ally in the kitchen.
