Fried Udon Noodles

We hardly ever cook pasta dishes, since they are always so heavy and unhealthy, but after finding an Asian inspired noodle dish I think we will use noodles more often. This dish is very simple and easy to alter for your own taste and what you have on hand at the moment!

Serves 2-4 (depending on amount of vegetables)
Ingredients:
About 2-4 oz Udon noodles (or Soba noodles)
2 tbs olive oil
2 cups finely chopped broccoli
1/2 cup thinly sliced daikon
1 cup leeks, chopped into thin half moons
1 cup chopped bok choy
2 tsp chopped garlic
salt & pepper to taste
1 1/2 tbl paprika
Shoyu or soy sauce to taste

Heat 1 tbl oil in a large skillet over medium heat, add the broccoli and daikon along with some shoyu/soy sauce. Cook until tender, about 15 minutes.

Heat a large pot of water to boiling, add the noodles and simmer. Cook until al dente (these cook in about 5 minutes). Drain and keep warm.

Add the remainder of the oil, all other ingredients and spice to the broccoli mixture over medium heat, add more shoyu/soy sauce and combine until all vegetables are tender.

Finally toss in the noodles and combine, then serve with a sprinkle of sesame seeds!
