• Moc meat , seitan or firm organic tofu you can also use one of the Gardein products or tempeh
• Buckwheat Udon Noodles 1 package (I use Sobaya)
• Broccoli large (small pieces)
• Carrots sliced 2 small
• Snow Pease 1cup
• Bean Sprouts 100gr
• Scallion for garnish
• Baby Bok Choy 4 (sauteed or steamed with garlic and salt )
• Oil 1/4 cup

• For the sauce
• Sesame seed oil 1/4 cup

• Organic Miso paste 1/4 cup
• Garlic minced (4 cloves)
• Ginger minced 1/4 cup
• Maple syrup 1 tbsp
• Mix thoroughly everything in a bowl, possibly with a whisk

1. Marinade the meat substitute or tofu over night
2. If you're using tofu, then cut them to a medium size squares
3. Boil the noodles by following the cooking instructions on the package. When ready, rinse them under the cold water and set them aside in the strainer. Make sure you don't overcook, it is actually better if slightly you undercook, since you will be sauteing them for few seconds
4. Bring the oil to heat and saute the meat substitute or tofu for 1 min and add the noodles
5. Keep adding the sauce as need it
6. Add the broccoli and carrot first, snow peas little bit later and the sprout at the end
7. Take it from the heat and sprinkle with the sesame seeds and green onions
8. For the best results, saute maximum two portions at the time, otherwise it get's mushy.
