INSTRUCTIONS
For the tempura prawns
Deep fry 180C 2-3 minutes
For the chilled sesame Udon noodles & vegetables
Place a medium-large pot of water over high heat, add in a few pinches of salt, and bring to a rapid boil; once boiling, add in the fresh udon noodles, and using chopsticks or the handle of your spoon, gently move them around to separate them, and cook for no longer than 3 minutes; drain and rinse under cold water thoroughly until the noodles are chilled.
Place a large pan over high heat, and drizzle in a bit of the oil; once hot, add in the sliced mushrooms, along with a pinch of salt and pepper, and saute for a few minutes until softened and golden-brown; then, add in the garlic and stir to combine, sauteing just until aromatic; spoon onto a plate to cool for a few moments.
Add the chilled noodles to a large bowl, and toss with the dressing; then, add in the sliced baby bok choy, red bell pepper, and cooled sautéed mushrooms. Toss gently to combine.
Divide evenly among bowls, and garnish the tops with some green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds; serve cold.
Pinch red pepper flakes (optional)
