Instructions
- Boil a pot of water and cook the udon noodles according to package instructions until just al dente (8-10 minutes). Drain and rinse under cold water.

- In a large serving bowl, combine grilled udon and vegetables. Garnish with sliced green onions.
Notes
For a lower sodium option, use low-sodium soy sauce. You can also swap regular udon noodles for whole wheat for added fiber.
