Happy Thanksgiving to our incredible Functional Yoga Medicine community! 
On this special day, what could be a better expression of love than preparing homemade meals that keep both your heart and gut happy? To celebrate, I want to share with you my special udon noodle recipe, which is not just a treat for the taste buds, but also a feast for your well-being 
This recipe is particularly close to my heart as it’s packed with an abundance of veggies, ensuring a nutritious behind all that spice and flavor 
Udon noodles are low in fat, rich in complex carbohydrates, and provide a moderate amount of protein. They also offer a source of iron and B vitamins – so none of the guilty carb eating today!

Cook the Udon Noodles
- Remove your udon noodles from their package and add them to a pot of boiling water. Frozen udon noodles can be added directly to the pot of boiling water. Stir gently until your udon noodles are separated and pliable. This should take 1 - 2 minutes. They come pre-cooked, avoid overcooking them, as they can get too soft.
- Rinse and drain your noodles and set aside
Stir Fry
- Heat your pan over high heat and add the oil.
- Add in the ground meat and stir fry until almost cooked.
- Add the vegetables and stir fry until the meat is fully cooked and the vegetables are soft.
- Add the noodles, sauce, and scallions. Add less sauce if you prefer. Continue stir-frying for about 3 minutes or until well combined.
- Serve immediately.
