Chewy noodles are always a satisfying way to infuse flavorful sauce into, also a great backdrop for our superfood favorite called Mushrooms! Having vegetarian oyster sauce helps a lot in elevating any noodle dish.
Chlorella Noodle
I used Sun Chlorella which can be found pretty much in asian grocery stores. The noodles were surprisingly chewy and with 2 grams of chlorella. Chlorella contains a range of nutrients, including proteins, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals, including antioxidants. I highly recommend checking them out. Cooks in minutes and the flavors you can combine them with is limitless. Better than noodles made of wheat flour, these chewy udon noodles
