Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 g Udon noodles
- 100 g Walnuts
- 100 g Pomegranate seeds
- 3 tbsp Soy sauce
- 2 tbsp Sesame oil
- 1 tbsp Rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp Honey
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 tsp Ginger
- 0.5 tsp Chili flakes
- 2 stalks Scallions
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Water
Instructions
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the udon noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and rinse under cold water to prevent sticking. Set aside.
In a dry skillet, toast the walnuts over medium heat for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fragrant and lightly browned. Let them cool slightly, then roughly chop them.
Finely mince the garlic and grate the ginger. Thinly slice the scallions and set them aside for garnishing later.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, honey, water, garlic, ginger, chili flakes, salt, and black pepper to create the sauce. Adjust seasoning as needed.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the cooked udon noodles and pour the sauce over them. Toss to coat the noodles evenly and heat them through for 2–3 minutes.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the toasted walnuts and half of the pomegranate seeds. Mix gently to combine.
Transfer the noodles to serving plates and garnish with the remaining pomegranate seeds and sliced scallions.
Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful Udon Noodles with Walnuts and Pomegranates!
