NOODLES****Udon noodles with Asparagus, Scallions and Hot and Sour Sauce

By Unblond1

10/04/15-This was good, although I still prefer Chili Udon, I think. I didn't have asparagus and I used some leftover roasted baby Bok Choy with chilies, which was good. Try it once again with asparagus and see what you think. It didn't meet my heat needs. I used sambal and sweet chili sauce and still added additional hot chili oil at table.

• 1 pkg. PC Udon
