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
  • Cup Cilantro chopped
  • 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!
