Ingredients

Yaki Udon

  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons shoyu
  • 10 ounces udon noodles

Vegetables

  • 10 ounces shiitake mushroom, sliced
  • 2 cups green cabbage, shredded
  • 1 daikon radish, diced
  • 2 cups snow peas
  • 2 tablespoon canola oil
  • Salt and pepper

Citrus Dressing

  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 2 limes, juiced
  • 1/4 cup shoyu or soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, to taste
  • 1/2 cup canola oil

Serving

  • 2 scallions, minced
  • 1/4 cup furikake
Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
2
In a small pot, combine the sugar, soy sauce and shoyu. Bring to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring to dissolve the sugar.
3
On a baking sheet, toss the shiitakes, cabbage, daikon and snow peas with half of the yaki sauce, the canola oil and a big pinch of salt. Roast until crisp-tender, about 10-15 minutes.
4
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil for the noodles. Add the noodles, stirring to prevent clumps. Cook according to package instructions, strain and return to the pot. Toss with the remaining yaki sauce. 
5
To make the citrus dressing, combine all of the ingredients except the oil in a blender, food processor, or immersion blender. As the mixture is blending, slowly add the oil to emulsify. Season to taste with salt.
6
Divide the noodles between bowls and top with the roasted vegetables, citrus sauce, scallions and furikake to serve.
