  • 400 gram cooked packaged Instant Udon Noodles, cut into smaller pieces
  • 3 tablespoon Butter, divided
  • 1 Small Onion, sliced
  • 1 1/2 cup Broccoli Florets
  • 1 cup Fresh Edamame Beans, removed from pods ((or frozen pre-shelled))
  • 2 tablespoon Flour

Instruction

  • COOK THE NOODLES: In a medium saucepan, bring salted water to a boil. Add shelled edamame beans and boil for 1 minute. Then add udon noodles and cook according to package instructions, about 3 more minutes. Drain and set aside.
  • MAKE VEGETABLES AND SAUCE: Melt 1 1/2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet on medium heat and then add sliced onions. Cook onions until translucent, about 4 minutes. Add broccoli florets. Cover with lid to allow steam to cook broccoli for 3-4 mins, stirring occasionally. Add the final 1 ½ tablespoons of butter letting it melt. Stir in flour and cook for 3 minutes. Stir in cream and milk and cook until thickened slightly, about 3 mins. Turn off heat. Add cheese and stir until fully incorporated. If desired, add wasabi powder (adjust amount to your preference) for a bit of heat.
  • FINISH DISH: Add cooked udon noodles and edamame to cheese-vegetable mixture and stir until all the noodles are covered. Place in bowl and top with lots of shredded seaweed.
