It is finally getting HOT here in Vancouver and I had a bunch of packs of udon noodles and wanted something cool and tasty during this summer weather. This makes enough for two large bowls of Thai Udon Noodle Salad.
The Recipe
Cook 1 package of udon noodles according to package directions and rinse with cold water.
Toast up some peanuts—I like to toast them on the stove.
For the salad you will need 1/2 chopped cucumber, 1 cup fresh bean sprouts, 1 grated carrot and 1 thinly sliced green onion.
For the dressing whisk together 1/4 cup peanut butter, 1/4 cup coconut milk, 1/2 tsp grated fresh ginger, 1 1/2 tbsp rice wine vinegar, 1 1/2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp sesame oil and Sriracha to taste.
I decided to also add the juice of half a lime. If this makes it too thin for you, add more peanut butter.
Toss salad together!

I love it! All my favourite Thai flavours in one salad. If you want it to be even more authentically Thai, feel free to add a little fish sauce to the dressing. For me, this was a lovely refreshing salad on a hot summer afternoon.
