Adam's Udon Noodles
Serves 4.
Note: This is a light dinner that can be served at any temperature, from chilled to warm. This simple shared noodle dish pairs udon noodles with some compatible ingredients. If you prefer rice vermicelli noodles, use those instead. To make the meal heavier, add some cooked shredded chicken. From "Adam's Big Pot, Easy Meals for Your Family," by Adam Liaw.
