Say it with me: BEST. SIDE DISH. EVER. Also say this with me: EASIEST. SIDE DISH. EVER. Picture a peanut butter dumpling and now turn it into a noodle dish and VOILÀ: peanut butter udon noodles. You can probably put this whole dish in ten minutes flat, making it perfect for quick weeknight meals, or for when you’re hosting a big group.

This side dish is Franco’s favourite of all time. Most of you are quite familiar with his recipe ratings on my Instagram stories and this one is still the one that has the highest “Franco” rating of all time. He rarely requests meals, but at least once a month he asks for this!

I most often serve this to accompany my Asian glazed salmon recipe, as they work absolutely beautifully together. However, you can use this as a side to pretty much any asian-inspired main protein, be it chicken, fish, red meat, or even tofu!

I like to lay a bed of the noodles underneath the protein that I am serving, top it with sesame seeds, or my personal fave, Kanel’s Hawaiian Ono Poke (which you can shop as part of my “Gabby’s Favourites” collection here), and chopped scallions.
