Ingredients
3 tablespoons tahini sauce
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
1 teaspoon Asian chili garlic sauce
1 teaspoon minced fresh garlic
1 Japanese eggplant, cut into 2-inch chunks
3 ounces shiitake mushroom caps, sliced ½-inch thick
1 red or orange bell pepper, cut into 2-inch pieces
1 cup assorted color cherry tomatoes
½ cup sliced red onion
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon Korean chili pepper (gochugaru)
Salt to taste
1 green onion, thinly sliced on the diagonal
2 cups baby spinach greens
1 pack Annie Chun’s Organic Udon Noodles
Method
Preheat oven to 425°F degrees.
Whisk together tahini, soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, Asian chili garlic sauce, and garlic in a bowl until smooth. Set aside.
Toss together the eggplant, shiitake mushroom, bell pepper, cherry tomatoes, onion, olive oil, chili pepper, and salt on a large rimmed baking sheet.
Roast until the vegetables are tender and golden brown, 20-25 minutes. Add the green onion and spinach to the pan and stir until the leaves wilt.
Empty both noodle pouches into a microwave safe bowl. Heat on high power for 2 minutes. Pour half the sauce over the noodles and toss with tongs to coat.
Portion the noodles into bowls and top with the vegetables. Drizzle remaining sauce over and serve.
