🛒 Ingredients You’ll Need:
For the noodles:
- 7 oz (200g) udon noodles (fresh or frozen)
- 1 ripe avocado, peeled and pitted
- 1 tbsp white miso paste
- 1 tbsp soy sauce or tamari (for gluten-free)
- 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
- 1 tsp rice vinegar
- 1 clove garlic, finely grated
- 1/2 tsp red chili flakes (optional)
- 2 tbsp warm water (to loosen the sauce)
Toppings (optional but magical):
- Thinly sliced scallions
- Toasted sesame seeds
- Shredded nori
- Soft-boiled egg or crispy tofu
- Julienned carrots or cucumber
👩🍳 How to Make It:
1. Boil the Udon
Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add your udon noodles and cook according to package directions (usually 2–3 minutes if fresh). Drain and rinse briefly under cool water to stop cooking.
2. Blend the Sauce
In a blender or small food processor, add avocado, miso paste, soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, garlic, chili flakes, and warm water. Blend until smooth and silky.
💡 No blender? No problem. Just mash the avocado well and whisk everything by hand for a rustic feel.
3. Toss it All Together
Place the drained noodles in a large bowl. Pour over the avocado miso sauce and gently toss to coat every strand.
4. Finish with Flair
Serve warm or chilled, topped with your choice of garnishes. Every bite will be creamy, savory, and absolutely crave-worthy.
