Ingredients

8 ounces Japanese udon noodles
1 (16 ounce) package firm tofu, drained
1 ½ cups shredded cabbage, or more to taste
1 cup shredded carrot
1 small sweet red pepper, seeded and cut into thin strips
2 scallions, or more to taste, thinly sliced
½ cup vegetable broth
6 tablespoons natural peanut butter
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons soy sauce, or more to taste
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 (1 inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled and minced
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper

Steps:

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook udon in boiling water, stirring occasionally, until noodles are tender yet firm to the bite, 10 to 12 minutes.
Meanwhile, pat tofu dry and cut into small cubes; set aside. Place cabbage, carrot, red pepper, and scallions in a large bowl.
Whisk together vegetable broth, peanut butter, brown sugar, soy sauce, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, and cayenne pepper in a small saucepan over low heat. Bring mixture to a simmer and whisk constantly until thickened, about 1 minutes. Set peanut sauce aside to cool.
Drain noodles in a colander and rinse with cool water to refresh. Add noodles to the cabbage mixture. Add peanut sauce and tofu; toss gently to mix. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Time 45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

1 (9 ounce) package dried udon noodles
½ cup chicken broth
1 ½ tablespoons minced fresh ginger root
3 tablespoons soy sauce
3 tablespoons peanut butter
1 ½ tablespoons honey
2 teaspoons chili oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 whole rotisserie chicken, skinned and boned, meat pulled into large chunks
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
¼ cup green onions, chopped
¼ cup chopped peanuts
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

Bring a large pot with lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Drop the udon in a few noodles at a time and return to a boil. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain; return to the pot.
While the udon noodles are cooking, whisk the chicken broth, ginger, soy sauce, peanut butter, honey, chile oil, and garlic in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, whisking until the peanut butter has melted. Pour the sauce over the noodles. Add the chicken and red bell pepper; toss until the noodles are evenly coated in the sauce. Sprinkle with green onions, chopped peanuts, and cilantro to serve.
