Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

½ cup white sugar
¼ cup water
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 clove garlic, crushed
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup rice vinegar
8 ounces udon noodles, or more to taste
2 English cucumbers, sliced
1 large shallot, thinly sliced
½ red bell pepper, thinly sliced
½ small Thai chile pepper, minced

Steps:

  • Combine sugar, water, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and salt in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring until sugar and salt are dissolved, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and cool slightly, about 5 minutes. Stir in rice vinegar to make dressing.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook udon noodles in boiling water, stirring occasionally, until noodles are tender yet firm to the bite, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain. Rinse with cold water and drain.
  • Transfer udon to a large bowl. Add cucumbers, shallot, red bell pepper, and Thai chile pepper. Pour dressing into the bowl; toss until salad is evenly coated. Let stand to marinate, at least 20 minutes, before serving.
