Meal planning has slipped off my ‘to do’ list recently and I must say I miss being organised. I love writing out what meals we will have for the week. It helps me shop efficiently and save on food waste. So back to business this week! This Yaki Udon Noodle dish is so tasty and a beautiful mid-week meal the entire family can enjoy. You can swap out the tofu with chicken or beef too.
Serves 2-3
INGREDIENTS
- 1 tbsp peanuts or cashews
- 1/2 red onion
- 1 garlic clove

- 2 tbsp dark soya sauce
- 2 tbsp hoisin sauce

METHOD
