Ingredients
- Olive Oil
- ½ Courgette
- ½ Leak
- 3 Cloves Garlic, Roughly Chopped
- 1 Tsp Black Pepper
- ½ Lemon
- 200ml Coconut Milk
- 1 Tbsp Miso Paste
- 2 Tbsp Soy Sauce
- 400g Udon
- 1 Spring Onion
Step 1
Slice the leek in half lengthwise, then thinly chop it. Grate the courgette.
Step 2
Heat a generous splash of oil in a wok, then add the leek and courgette along with a hearty pinch of salt. Cook over medium heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and caramelized.
Step 3
In the meantime, mix together the coconut milk, miso paste, and soy sauce until well combined.
Step 4
Stir in the garlic and black pepper and cook for 2 minutes.
Step 5
Pour in the coconut milk and stir thoroughly. Add the udon noodles, cover with a lid, and reduce the heat to low. Let it cook for about 5 minutes, or until the udon softens and everything can be mixed together evenly.
Step 6
Finish by adding the zest and juice of half a lemon, then sprinkle with chopped spring onions. Serve and enjoy!
