I do love giving my students timed challenges. Especially ones with a limited amount of ingredients. Tonight's challenge was an Asian themed dish created in 15 minutes with - only 15 ingredients pre-chosen by me at their disposal. 😈 [muwahaha!]

Guess what? They all nailed it! Especially this student! 😆

Anyway, overall this dish presents as primarily spicy and slightly salty. But, feel free to employ most any Asian sweet sauce for an added contrast. 🍬 But, know that additional pickled ginger juice dashed on noodles works quite well if seeking added sweetness.

    Udon Noodles! Served hot or cold.While these delicious noodles originated in China - they migrated lightning fast to Japan. My favorite noodle! They're so plump, so absorbant and so toothy! And, it's such an easy meal - know that 8 year olds both created and photographed this dish in 10 minutes flat!Feel free to add pre-cooked pork, beef or chicken slices, Shiitake Mushrooms, Tofu or even Chinese Cabbage to this tummy filling soup. Fresh or dried shrimp work great in this dish as well. Just adjust your stock types accordingly.If serving as an appetizer or a side dish - this recipe could easily serve four.

    I made some stir fried udon when I was visiting friends in Bangkok. They were out of soy sauce so I tried using Thai fish sauce instead. Although people in Bangkok use limes, lemon is a fine substitute.Now I'm very fond of stir fried udon with nam pla.Microwave the udon noodles briefly to warm them up, and untangle them in advance. If you are using frozen noodles, rinse them in water to get rid of any surface stickiness.If you add some fresh coriander, it will taste more like Thai cooking!I recommend adding cherry tomatoes. For 1 serving. Recipe by Wanko mama

    You can make an easy Thai dish with dried udon noodles even if you don't have sen lek (Thai rice noodles)!You can use white sugar instead of brown sugar if you want. It's more authentic to add bean sprouts or atsuage (thick fried tofu), but it's also tasty with the crisp onion. Recipe by Wa Station

    I love udon dishes, but usually they don't include vegetables.You can eat a lot of vegetables with the udon though if you simmer it with miso. Add an egg at the end to make it really nutritious.The only tip is to stir-fry the chicken thoroughly so that it's cooked through. The flavor of miso varies depending on the type, so please adjust the seasoning at the end if needed by adding soy sauce. Add the doubanjiang sparingly while tasting. It's delicious with an egg dropped on top at the end too. For 2 servings. Recipe by commeline

    I made curry noodle soup in a clay pot.It's a sister to the stewed miso udon noodles.Please adjust the amount of dashi base according to the size of your clay pot. You can use pork or onions instead of chicken. The egg will be cooked with remaining heat so take the pot from the heat shortly after you cover the pot. You can cook the egg to the doneness of your liking but I like it soft-poached. Recipe by Bananazakuro

    I often use frozen udon noodles to cook up my lunches, but I don't want to do extra dishes and don't want to use gas... so I always them cook in a microwave.This is an indulgent lunch with pork.
