Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) vegetable oil
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 32 oz (946 ml) beef broth, divided
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) soy sauce
- Sliced green onions, peanuts for toppings
- 2 tsp (10 ml) garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) ginger powder
- 2 teaspoon (10 ml) red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) pepper
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) salt
- 1 lb (454 g) raw medium shrimp, peeled & deveined
- 8 oz (227 g) Udon noodles
- 1 cup (240 ml) peanut butter, creamy is fine, if you prefer. Use all-natural peanut butter for the best flavor.
- 1 cup (240 ml) sliced cabbage, sub mushrooms, thinly sliced carrots, spinach, or other favorite veggies
Instructions
- Warm the vegetable oil over medium heat in a large saucepan.
- Incorporate the chopped onion.
- Sauté until the onion becomes see-through, which should take around 5 minutes.
- Pour in 2 cups of the beef broth, followed by soy sauce, pepper, salt, red pepper flakes, garlic powder, and ginger powder.
- Allow the mixture to reach a gentle boil and then take it off the heat.
- Introduce the uncooked shrimp, udon noodles, cabbage, peanut butter, and the rest of the beef broth. (NOTE: If your shrimp is pre-cooked, add it after the cabbage softens, just to warm it up.)
- Place back on the stove and heat until everything is hot, ensuring the shrimp is done and the cabbage softens, but avoid boiling.
- Garnish with a splash of chili oil and some fresh cilantro before serving.
Notes
- Consider using olive oil or avocado oil instead of vegetable oil for a healthier option.
- Customize your toppings with extra vegetables like mushrooms, carrots, or spinach for added nutrients and flavor.
- Enhance the peanut flavor by using chunky peanut butter for added texture.
