For an extra layer of flavor, toast the sesame seeds in a dry pan over medium heat until golden brown before adding them to the salad. Adjust the amount of Sriracha sauce and red pepper flakes to suit your spice preference. Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or cucumber for added crunch and nutrition. This salad can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare the Udon: Remove udon noodles from the outer bag. Pierce the inner pouch several times and place it on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave until tender, approximately 90 seconds.
02
StepCombine Ingredients: Transfer the cooked noodles to a large bowl. Add the drained bean sprouts, grated carrot, chopped cilantro, thinly sliced onion, drained mushroom pieces, and sesame seeds. (5 minutes)
03
StepPrepare the Vinaigrette: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the rice wine vinegar, soy sauce, olive oil, sesame oil, sugar, diced ginger, minced garlic, lime juice, white wine, Sriracha sauce, and red pepper flakes until the sugar is fully dissolved. (3 minutes)
04
StepDress the Salad: Pour the vinaigrette over the noodle mixture and toss thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are evenly coated. (2 minutes)
05
StepChill: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the salad for at least 4 hours to allow the flavors to meld and deepen. This step is crucial for the best flavor. (240 minutes)
