1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 teaspoon sesame oil

1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions
 

Cook Udon Noodles: Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the udon noodles and cook according to the package instructions, usually about 3-4 minutes. Drain and set aside.

      Combine Ingredients: Add the cooked udon noodles directly to the bowl with the sauce. Toss until the noodles are well coated with the mixture. If the noodles seem too dry, add an additional drizzle of chili oil or sesame oil.

        Garnish: Toss in the chopped green onions (reserving a few for garnish), and if using, sprinkle sesame seeds and fresh cilantro over the top.

          Serve: Plate the noodles and garnish with the reserved green onions and any additional chili oil if desired. Enjoy your quick and flavorful dish!
