Here we are, escaping Thanksgiving. This week we are looking at something a bit lighter, a reprieve from the hard core eats of the holiday. As always with foods like this it is fairly simple to turn it into a vegetarian or even vegan dish. For the most part with this one, the only animal product comes from the cod.
1 inch ginger (chopped fine)
Method:
Start with the green onion, garlic, ginger, and Thai pepper, then add in the rest of the veggies one group at a time till all is cooked through. If it looks a little dry add a dash or two of water (it will help steam the veggies a bit as well). When the veggies are ready add in the noodles and toss with a little water to help the flavors spread around. Season with salt and pepper.
Cod:
Cod
flour
Salt
1Tablespoon maple syrup
1 Tablespoon Soy sauce
Method:
Season the cod with salt then dredge through the flour, knocking off excess. Sear each side of the cod till slightly golden. Remove and place on pan (or cook on saute pan if oven safe). Using a brush paint the cod with the soy sauce and maple mix. Finish in oven (depending on the thickness of the pieces it might go really fast) If the pieces are thin you might want to turn the oven off when you place the cod inside.
Time for a pint…
This sounds fantastic… although I'm a huge fan of honey so I'll probably try to sub the maple syrup for honey.
Your udon noodle recipe sounds quite delicious to me. I'll have to buy the ingredients just to make myself a great lunch.
This looks great. I've never had anything that combined maple and soy but the sweet and salty sounds like a great combo. It's 9:30 AM here and I'm already ready for lunch now!!
I've been craving Udon for at least two weeks now. I would definitely love this recipe. It's just too bad I don't really cook.
I think the sweetness of the honey might bring out more of the ungeunt flavor from the soy. Could be an interesting flavor match.
I have been making it a point to keep Udon noodles on hand. They have such a great flavor and are great to work with.
So quick to make too. The only real time killer is boiling the water for the noodles.
Is it wrong to have lunch right after your morning break?
Well, I must be the only person on the planet who didn't know what Udon noodles were so I looked them up on the internet. I like that they are wheat, which is better for you than noodles made from white flour. I'll have to give them a try. Thanks for the recipe.
I love Udon noodles Jon and I have never though of adding maple syrup where you have red chili flakes. I have booked marked this recipe to try. Thanks
Sweet and spicey go great together. I haven't made them in a while but candied walnuts are great with honey and cayenne pepper.
I love Japanese noodles. Soba noodles are made with buckwheat and yams. Like Udon they have a taste quite different from the noodles most of us have grown up with.
I love your videos and recipes. This is one I have to try. I love seafood and am always looking for new ways to make it. Thanks for this great recipe. 🙂
I love that you are escaping Thanksgiving LOL This does look so good I will try it.
