I came across many different Thai recipes that used the Udon noodles but I didn't have too many other ingredients. I decided to create this next recipe with what I hand in my fridge and pantry! It turned out perfectly! I love satay dipping sauce. This tastes just like that, but poured over thick, soft, Udon noodles! This recipe has just a hint of heat, but it so creamy and full of peanut flavor! It even tastes great chilled! Very quick and easy to make also!
