Ingredients

• 2 cloves finely chopped garlic
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh ginger root
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 1/4 cup groundnut oil
• 3 tablespoons sesame oil
• 1 dash hot pepper sauce
• 1/2 green pepper, thinly sliced
• 1/2 red pepper, thinly sliced
• 1/2 yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 4 spring onions, finely chopped
• 2 cups diagonally sliced snap peas
• 2 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted
• 1 (7 ounce) package fresh udon noodles

Instructions

1. In a jar with a tight fitting lid, combine the garlic, ginger, soy sauce, rice vinegar, groundnut oil, sesame oil and hot pepper sauce. Close the lid, and shake vigorously to blend. Set aside to let the flavours blend.
2. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add udon noodles, and cook until tender, about 3 minutes. Drain, and place in a serving bowl.
3. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the green, red, and yellow peppers with green onion and peas. Heat in the microwave until warm, but still crisp. Add to the noodles in the bowl, and pour the dressing over all. Toss to coat everything in dressing, then sprinkle toasted sesame seeds over the top.
