Chicken Udon
I LOVE the holidays. More than the average person. But, after getting so into it this past November, your girl needs a day or two break from these holiday flavors. I need to prepare my palette for all of the gingerbread and peppermint that is about it come it’s way by breaking up my meals with Asian and American dishes. This udon is the perfect palette breaker. Take a break from the soups and pastas and roasted everything to give yourself some straight-up fun. The sauce is what pulls everything together. I always make batches of it and give it to my friends and family because they love it so much. It’s also so simple and only has a few ingredients, which I always have in my house. I really hope you’ll try it!
