An Easy Lazy Lunch

There’s no other way to put it: when it comes to preparing lunches, I am so LAZY!

Yes, I admit it: I’ve never been too fond of lunch. Even as a little girl, lunchtime at school just felt like a bore. There was nothing exciting about reaching into my lunch box, only to find a cold sandwich, a juice box, and packaged snacks.

I am still the same way today. Lunch cuts right in the middle of my working hours – and when you work as much as I do, time is precious! I can’t be bothered to prepare a nutritious, delicious meal – or can I?!

Udon Noodles to the Rescue!

So. Darn. Simple!

And this is why I think it my Peanut Sauce Udon Noodles are a great option for lunch. It’s a warm, delicious, easy-to-prepare meal. It takes minutes to whip-up, which is exactly what we need right in the middle of our work day.

Make a big batch of it and you can make multiple meals out of one recipe.

Store leftover peanut sauce in an airtight and spillproof container. I prefer a mason jar with a lid.

Keep the peanut sauce refrigerated and use it within a week.
