Sesame Noodles

I've made a number of different version of this dish, whether it be just plain sesame noodles like this or with chicken, beef or tofu and I have to say this is becoming one of my all time favorites. The key to this dish is the noodles. I've tried many different brands and this is the one: Welpack Japanese Udon Noodles.

Ingredients:
1 package Welpack udon noodles
1 teaspoon canola oil
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon lite soy sauce
4 green onions
1/4 yellow onion
1/4 red onion
1/4 red bell pepper
4 cloves garlic
1/2 bunch cilantro
crushed nuts

Preparation:
Cook the udon noodles according to the package which is to boil for 4 -5 minutes. When cooked, strain in cold water and set a side.

Heat a 12" sauté pan to medium. Add the canola oil, diced yellow onion, diced red onion, diced red bell pepper, chopped garlic and sauté for a few of minutes until the onions start to turn translucent.

Next, add the udon noodles to the sauté pan and toss. Once the noodles start to heat up, add the sesame oil, soy sauce, green onions and cilantro. Continue to heat and toss to incorporate the flavors. When steaming hot, place a potion on a serving plate. Finish the dish by topping with more chopped cilantro and crushed nuts.
