This fresh and delicious Asian salad can be served hot or cold, making it a decent option for a packed lunch. For the best results, cook the udon fresh the morning you're planning on packing it. Udon doesn't keep well in the fridge, but the veggies can easily be prepped in advance.

4 oz. pea pods, cut into thin strips
2 Tbsp. dark roasted sesame oil
1 Tbsp. peanut oil
2 Tbsp. low-sodium soy sauce
2 Tbsp. rice wine vinegar
1/2 oz. dried mushrooms, soaked and sliced
1 carrot, thinly sliced
2 green onions, sliced
