Pork udon with chili peanut sauce
For fans of sate / satay peanut sauce, here's a delightful way to bring its flavors to the dinner table even if the weather does not permit grilling skewered meat. Udon and thin slices of pork are tossed with peanut sauce flavored with chili, garlic, ginger, five-spice powder, soy sauce and sugar. Salty, sweet, spicy, nutty and creamy. You’ll be scraping any sauce left at the bottom of the bowl.
