2 garlic cloves, minced

1 teaspoon ginger, minced

1 spring onion, chopped (for garnish)

Optional: fresh cilantro or parsley (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Boil the Noodles: In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the udon noodles according to package instructions, usually about 2-3 minutes for fresh noodles. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

    Prepare the Sauce: While the noodles are cooking, in a mixing bowl, combine the chili oil, soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and minced ginger. Whisk together until well blended.

      Drain the Noodles: Once the noodles are cooked, drain and rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking process. Shake off excess water.

        Combine: Transfer the drained udon noodles to a large mixing bowl. Pour the prepared chili oil mixture over the noodles and toss well to coat evenly.
