Instructions

Step 1

In a pan over medium heat, add the shiitake mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes, allowing the juices to start releasing. Then add the sesame oil, broccoli, and edamame. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring regularly.

Step 2

Meanwhile, cook the udon noodles according to the package instructions. Reserve 1/4 cup of the cooking water to add to the sauce (see notes).

Step 3

Prepare the sauce: In a small container, combine the peanut butter, gochujang, garlic, tamari, rice vinegar, maple syrup, and lime juice. Whisk together using a small whisk or fork, and gradually incorporate the reserved noodle cooking water.

Step 4

Add the noodles and sauce to the pan, and cook for an additional 2 minutes, mixing well to ensure the noodles are evenly coated with the sauce.

Step 5

Divide between two plates, and top with scallions, sesame seeds, and chili, if using. Enjoy!
