Thai Almond Butter Udon Noodle Bowls
Total Time: 00h 20m
Hands-on Time: 00h 10m
Makes: 2 - 3 servings
This brightly colored, vegetarian lunch bowl comes together quickly and doesn’t skimp on flavor, thanks to spicy-sweet Thai Almond Butter and Frontier Co-op Gochugaru. Tip: if you make ahead for lunch through the week, store sauce, noodles and vegetables separately, and combine just before serving. (Thank you to our friend Katie Shatzer for creating this wonderful recipe.)
