Combine sliced red bell pepper, leaves of Thai Basil, mint, 1 tsp lime juice, olive oil, and shredded carrots. Toss and season to taste with salt & pepper. Set aside.
Boil Annie Chun’s Udon Noodles for two minutes, drain and rinse, then set aside.
In a heated saucepan with a drizzle of oil, add the white parts of the scallions and cook protein, if using. Once the protein is cooked and scallions have softened, add the Udon Noodles and Cashew Curry Sauce and toss to combine. Simmer for a few minutes, until the sauce is slightly thickened.
Serve with the herb salad and garnish with green parts of scallions.
