INSTRUCTIONS

1
Roast the sesame chickpeas

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Add chickpeas, sesame seeds, 1 tbsp vegetable oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper to a baking sheet and toss. Roast until chickpeas are browned and crispy in places, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside. TIP: The drier the chickpeas, the crispier they will get.

2
Make the broth

In a medium saucepan, add scallion whites, garlic, just 1 tsp of panang curry paste, tamari, mirin, vinegar, sugar, liquid smoke, ginger, 3 cups of water and a pinch of salt and pepper. Bring broth to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook until reduced slightly, 10 to 12 minutes. TIP: Use the back of your knife to crush the ginger; you don’t need to peel it. Keep remaining curry for your own use.

3
Cook the noodles

Remove the pieces of ginger and garlic and discard. Add the carrot, spinach, and udon noodles to the broth and simmer, covered, until the noodles are tender and spinach is wilted, 1½ to 2 minutes. TIP: The udon noodles will be stiff until they are cooked through; do not stir them while they cook.

4
Finish and serve

Divide the udon noodle soup with carrots and spinach between two bowls. Top with crispy sesame chickpeas and scallion greens. Enjoy!
