Ingredients

For the Special Sauce

¾ Cup Greek Yogurt
3 Tablespoons Tomato Paste
2 Tablespoons Soy Sauce
3 Tablespoons Rice Vinegar
3 Tablespoons Maple Syrup
2 Tablespoons Sriracha
½ Teaspoon Smoked Paprika
½ Teaspoon Onion Powder

For the Noodles

8 Ounces Udon Noodles or noodles of choice
2 Persian Cucumbers chopped
¾ Cup Edamame
½ Cup Kimchi chopped
⅓ Cup Cilantro chopped
⅓ Cup Green Onions thinly sliced
1 Avocado chopped
Sesame Seeds as desired

Instructions

To make these noodles, start by chopping all of your veggies and setting them aside.
Cook the udon noodles according to the package instructions, then drain and rinse them with cold water. If you'd like, drizzle them with a little sesame oil to keep them from sticking.
Next, prepare the special sauce. Add all of the sauce ingredients to a bowl and whisk until smooth. Taste and adjust the seasonings as needed, then set the sauce aside.
Now it's time to assemble. In a large container, spread the sauce across the bottom. Layer the noodles on top of the sauce, then pile on all of the fresh veggies.
If you're eating right away, add the avocado now. For meal prep, wait to add the avocado until just before serving.
Cover the container and store it in the refrigerator. When you're ready to eat, simply shake the container well so everything gets evenly coated in the sauce, open, and enjoy!
