Easy Japanese pan noodles
Veggies and noodles make a quick weekday meal. Keep it vegetarian or add some grilled chicken or shrimp, a side of artisan bread, and there you go. Dinner in no time at all!
For the veggies I like to use onions, carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, and pea pods. If you like mushrooms, go ahead and slice some up and add them to the mix. Bean or alfalfa sprouts are also a favorite.
For the noodles I like the original flavor Udon noodles. You can find these at most grocery stores. Chicken or shrimp flavor would also work.
I like to saute the onions first in olive oil, then add the carrots until they're softened, then the remaining vegetables. When they are all softened I add the noodles and a tablespoon or two of teriyaki sauce. Enjoy!
