Instructions
- In a small bowl, prepare your sauce by combining sesame paste, black vinegar, oliosaccharide, toasted sesame oil, and soy sauce and stir well until combined.
- Bring a pot of water to boil, then add your udon noodles and cook according to package instructions. Drain but reserve about 2-3 tbsp of cooking water for the sauce.
- Meanwhile, if making seitan, pan fry the seitan. You can add some oil for extra crispiness.
