directions

  • Cut off the broccoli stalks and set aside for another use (such as in a vegetable stir-fry). Cut the florets into small pieces and steam them until tender-crisp, about 2 to 3 minutes. Refresh florets under cold running water and drain. Set aside.
  • Cook the udon until tender but still chewy, 8 to 12 minutes. Perform step 3 while the udon is cooking. Drain and rinse under cold water to halt the cooking process. Drain thorougly.
  • In a blender or food processor, blend the unsalted peanut butter, freshly grated ginger, minced garlic, tamari, brown rice vinegar, maple syrup and cayenne pepper together until smooth, using just enough water to create a medium-thick consistency.
  • Immediately place the noodles in a bowl or storage container and toss with the peanut sauce. Add the broccoli.

  1. I really liked this too. I wasn't clear in the beginning that it's meant to be served cold, so seeing as I wanted it hot, I just blended up the sauce first, then boiled up the broccoli & noodles at same time (I used fresh udon, so they only take a few minutes). So for me this dish took all of 20 minutes to throw together. It was a little heavy on the ginger for my smaller diners, but I liked it a lot...could have used more tamari maybe. I also made half the recipe and had 2 good portions. I think you could sub quite a few different veggies or add to it with good results. Thanks Tish, this is a handy recipe to have!
     
  2. Chomp! This was great! I've tried a few peanutty noodly recipes but they were never quite right too vinegary, too thick etc. this was amazing! lovely flavour of sauce and even though I made half the recipe it still made two hearty meals. The only comment I will make is it's really heavy on the broccoli, I didn't mind as I love broccoli to bits (or should that be florets) but if you are only so so about it you may get a shock the first time you mae it!

I live in Las Vegas. I was lucky enough to run into Recipezaar around Nov. 2000 and got hooked quickly. I am a cookbook collector and have been collecting recipes for as long as I can remember. My DH had to build in shelves for all my cookbooks! I like to dabble with OAMC and for a few years hosted the Budget/OAMC forum with some great people over there. Even though I don't work in the forum any longer I've set up a lot of cookbooks for the purpose of OAMC and stretching food that might be helpful. Please feel free to check them out! I go on food jags and cooking jags! Please come say hi to me and chat on facebook. I currently host a blog for saving money through finding deals and coupons if you are interested. Most of the time I try to cook and have a good dinner on the table but I'll be honest enough to say there is still fast food occasionally in the budget! I have had such wonderful support here whenever I need it. Thank you all for being here! Just a quick note on how I rate recipes: ? 5 stars - This recipe is perfect. (My DH is truly a critic and doesn't give 5's unless it's amazing) I would recommend it to others and would definitely make again. ? 4 stars - This recipe was good but I would change something in it next time. ? 3 stars - This is a recipe I would not make again but it was OK ? 2 stars - This recipe I would not make again and we didn't like it at all ? 1 star - This recipes did not work out/taste was unappealing and wouldn't make again
