    UDON Lettuce Cups with Creamy Peanut Dressing {JSL Foods Blogger Recipe Challenge}

    August 15, 2016 by athomewithrebecka 2 Comments

    Udon lettuce cups are a light, healthy lunch or dinner. When you're hungry for restaurant quality flavors but too tired to go out for dinner, make this quick and delicious meal in less than 30 minutes.   

    JSL Foods presents... the Blogger Recipe Challenge.  

    Udon lettuce cups are a light, healthy lunch or dinner. When you're hungry for restaurant quality flavors but too tired to go out for dinner, make this quick and delicious meal in less than 30 minutes.

    When I accepted the Fortune Noodle-Blogger Recipe Challenge, the company offered me a choice of noodles to create an original recipe.  

    I tested several recipes during the vetting process for this tasty contest by utilizing several of the unique and delicious Fortune Noodle products. 

    I made a Thai Peanut Noodle Salad with Crispy Fried Duck Breast with Fortune Noodle Thai Peanut Rice Noodles. Unfortunately, I forgot to place the product packaging in the photo which I thought would disqualify this recipe for submission. I get so excited about creating recipes, sometimes I forget to adhere to the official rules. 

    Fortune Blogger Challenge 2016

    Armed with the knowledge that my first recipe was a failed attempt for submission, I decided to shop for Fortune Noodles at my local Safeway store to experiment with a few different flavors. My local Safeway carries three flavors of the UDON noodles as well as, the Yaki Soba stir-fry noodles. I went for the Yaki-Soba noodles and made a Creamy Yaki Soba Salad with a mango, dried cranberries and a mayonnaise based dressing.  Guess what? I forgot the product package in the photo AGAIN, but  at least I captured a cute selfie with my delicious salad!

    I used the Original Udon Noodles to make my THIRD and final recipe; UDON Lettuce Cups with Creamy Peanut Dressing, and I finally remembered to put the product packaging in the photo!! Thank goodness!

    Udon lettuce cups are the perfect meal when you're hungry for restaurant quality flavors, but too tired to go out for dinner.

    You can make this quick and delicious meal in less than 30 minutes.
