The Very Best New Year’s Eve Wonton Appetizer is a Caramelle

Let’s face it 2021 can’t come soon enough. We are all looking to celebrate a new beginning. Our guest list may be smaller, but our appetites for creating new, fun and delicious appetizers will always remain. So grab a glass of your favorite sparkling beverage and let’s make my recipe for Crispy Mushroom Won Ton Caramelle. This is my first holiday appetizer entry for the Twin Dragon Wrapper…

One pan and  20 minutes are all it takes to put together this delicious udon noodle and vegetable dish. 

Today I have for you a recipe using Fortune Udon noodles from  

JSL Foods

They’re hosting a contest for home cooks to create an udon noodle dish. I used three types of vegetables, some chickpeas, and plenty of tasty spices. They are currently giving away a coupon for a free package of noodles.

Let’s talk a  little bit about this recipe. Mushrooms are cooked up with some sesame oil and then broccoli is added into the mix. After a few minutes the chickpeas, tofu cubes, spices, noodles, accompanying spice pack, and water all get thrown into the pan. This is one pan cooking at its finest. An easy recipe that you can make too! A delicious noodle meal ready, and on the table, in under 20 minutes? It can be done. I highly recommend the optional toppings. Avocado lends a rich flavor while the cilantro and green onions add the fresh element. And then we’ve got the sesame seeds for a bit of crunch and lime juice for a touch of tang. It’s such a simple and flavorful dish using only 10 ingredients.  

These fortune udon noodles are hearty and so easy to make into a comforting meal. If you’re interested in finding out more about their products check out their
