Udon Noodles with Chicken, Bok Choy and Almond Sauce

Udon is a type of thick, wheat-flour noodle used frequently in Japanese cuisine. This noodles recipe makes a better-than-take-out (and healthier!) twist on this Japanese staple.

Use any extra sauce as a dip for raw vegetables, or whisk in additional sesame oil and use as a salad dressing.

Ingredients

Sauce:

¾ cup almond butter
¼ cup tamari
¼ cup lime juice
¼ cup water
2 medium garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons minced ginger
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
1 teaspoon maple syrup
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
¼ cup sesame oil

Noodles:

1 (13-ounce) bag dried udon noodles
1½ tablespoons coconut oil
1 pound boneless chicken breast, thinly sliced (about ¼ inch)
½ teaspoon salt
1 pound baby bok choy, 1-inch slices

Instructions

In a medium bowl, whisk together all sauce ingredients with exception of ¼ cup sesame oil, until smooth. Whisking constantly, slowly drizzle in sesame oil to emulsify. Season to taste.
Bring a medium pot of water to boil. Add udon noodles; stir to separate. Simmer uncovered about 5 minutes, until tender.
Meanwhile, in a large saucepan over medium-high heat, melt coconut oil. Add chicken and salt; sauté 5–7 minutes, until lightly browned and cooked through. Add bok choy, and sauté about 4 minutes, until softened.
Drain noodles, and rinse with cold water.
In a separate bowl, toss noodles, chicken and bok choy with ¼ cup almond sauce. Plate. Drizzle generously with almond sauce, then top with more chicken and bok choy to your liking.

Notes

Tip: You can replace the tamari with soy sauce. Coconut oil can be replaced with vegetable oil.
