Thai Udon Noodles
with Peanut Curry & Onion-Lime Crunch
We combine red curry paste and Thai peanut sauce for a quick and easy Thai-inspired curry sauce. Udon noodles are a thick, wheat-based noodle popular in Japanese cuisine and are the perfect vehicle for this delicious sauce. A sprinkling of crispy onions, peanuts, cilantro, and lime zest really makes this dish "pop".

INSTRUCTIONS
Bring medium saucepan of salted water to a boil for noodles. Combine crispy onions, peanuts, cilantro, and lime zest in medium bowl. In separate medium bowl, stir together peanut sauce, curry paste, lime juice, and ¼ cup water. (4-serving meal: ½ cup water)
Add noodles to boiling water and cook until al dente, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain noodles and rinse under cool water to stop cooking process. Set aside.
Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add shallot and ginger and cook until softened and beginning to brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Add bok choy and a pinch of salt and pepper and cook until crisp tender, 3 to 5 minutes. (4-serving meal: use 2 tbsp vegetable oil) (TIP: Crisp-tender means vegetables will still have some crunch.)
Add peanut curry sauce and cooked noodles to bok choy. Stir until well combined and warmed through. Divide Thai peanut curry udon noodles and ginger bok choy between bowls. Top with onion-lime crunch and serve with lime wedges. Tuck in!
