This 10-Minute Creamy Peanut Udon is your new weeknight lifesaver rich, nutty, and comforting, made with pantry staples and a handful of fresh ingredients in less time than takeout.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 packages (7 oz each) pre-cooked udon noodles
  • 3 tablespoons smooth peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (low-sodium optional)
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1–2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 2–3 tablespoons water (to thin sauce)
  • 1 cup thinly sliced vegetables (carrots, bell peppers, snap peas)
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • Red pepper flakes or sriracha (optional)
  • Chopped peanuts and cilantro for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. Add water gradually until smooth and pourable.
  2. Boil water and cook udon noodles for 1–2 minutes, then drain.
  3. Stir-fry sliced vegetables in a pan with a small amount of oil for 2–3 minutes.
  4. Toss noodles with peanut sauce until evenly coated. Fold in vegetables and most green onions.
  5. Divide into bowls and garnish with remaining green onions, chopped peanuts, cilantro, and optional heat.

Notes

Swap udon for soba or linguine if needed. Add tofu, chicken, or a fried egg for more protein. The sauce can be made ahead and used as a dip or drizzle throughout the week.
