TIPS AND TRICKS
Udon noodles are Japanese noodles made from wheat. They can be found in the Asian aisle of some supermarkets and in Asian groceries. They are available in the precooked/instant form in aseptic packages or in the dried form.
To use dried udon noodles, cooked noodles in large pot of boiling water 8 to 10 minutes or until tender. Rinse under cold water; drain well. Prepare recipe as directed, adding drained noodles with snow peas and bell peppers.
Sake, a Japanese alcoholic beverage made by fermenting rice, is available wherever fine wines are sold. It may also be found in the Asian aisle of some supermarkets or in Asian grocery stores.
Sprinkle with 2 green onions, thinly sliced, if desired.
