Tangy Udon Noodles with Lemon Honey Brussel Sprouts

For this meal I used the same method for the Brussels as a recipe I posted earlier (Lemon honey sautéed Brussel sprouts, about a month ago) topped on wide udon noodles, which you can find at most natural food, Asian markets or some grocery stores. I flavored the noodles with my favorite combo of soy sauce, rice vinegar and lemon juice. For some extra protein add cubes of tofu or cooked soybeans.

Ingredients:

  • Wide udon noodles
  • Brussel sprouts
  • Rice vinegar
  • Soy sauce 
  • Lemon 
  • Honey or vegan sweetener 
  • Olive oil 
  • Salt, pepper and garlic to taste 

Directions:

  1. For the Brussels
  2. Boil a pot of water (with enough water to cover brussels)
  3. Wash brussels well, peeling off outer leaves if they look gross
  4. Chop into halves or quarters, depending on their size
  5. Put brussels into boiling water and cook for about 3-5 minutes, or until they are pretty cooked but still a little hard
  6. Strain and put brussels in a large pan with olive oil
  7. Add lemon juice, honey and herbs to taste (it tend to take a good amount of lemon and honey to be flavorful enough) 
  8. Continue to sautee until they are tender
  9. For the noodles: 
  10. Follow directions on the package to cook noodles 
  11. Drain and mix in a bowl with rice vinegar, soy sauce and lemon to taste. 
  12. Add protein source if desired and top with cooked Brussels. Enjoy :)
