Enjoy this speedy one-serving recipe when you're short on time but want something that's both flavorful and nourishing. It uses only a few simple ingredients which come together to create this creamy noodle dish.
Use any kind of noodles you like. I use udon for a heartier meal but you could use something lighter if you prefer. I've added sesame twice here to really ground this recipe with a deep umami flavor while adding freshness with some green onions.
Perfect for a quick lunch or easy dinner, this recipe can be scaled up to serve more people! It can easily be made gluten-free by using tamari instead of soy sauce and gluten-free noodles.
