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.

Recipe Note

I like to drizzle siracha or chili oil for added spicyness.
