Ingredients
  

200g fresh udon noodles

3 tablespoons chili oil (store-bought or homemade)

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 teaspoon sesame oil

1 garlic clove, minced

1 green onion, finely sliced (for garnish)

1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds (for garnish)

Fresh cilantro leaves (optional, for garnish)

Salt to taste

Instructions
 

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the udon noodles and cook according to package instructions, usually about 3-4 minutes.

    While the noodles are cooking, combine the chili oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and minced garlic in a small bowl. Mix well to create the sauce.

      Once the noodles are cooked, drain them in a colander and rinse briefly with cold water to stop the cooking process and remove excess starch.

        In a mixing bowl or directly in the pot, toss the drained udon noodles with the prepared sauce, ensuring the noodles are well-coated.

          Transfer the noodles to a serving bowl. Garnish with sliced green onions, toasted sesame seeds, and fresh cilantro leaves if desired.

            Taste the noodles and adjust seasoning with salt if needed. Serve immediately and enjoy your quick and delicious meal!
