Heat the sesame oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the onion and white pepper. Cook for 3-5 minutes, or until onion becomes tender. Add the ginger powder and garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
Add the cabbage and broth to the pan, cover and simmer for 3 minutes. Remove the lid and add the black bean garlic sauce & rice wine vinegar. Stir until combined and lower heat.
Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the udon noodles and use tongs to gently break them apart. Only cook until the noodles have separated (1 minute) - they will finish cooking in the sauce.
Drain the noodles and add them to the sauce. Add the whites of the green onions and toss to combine. If you want some spice, add some sriracha.
Serve noodles with sesame seeds, lime wedges and the remaining green onions.
*I used vegan chicken broth. You can find it at Whole Foods or online here. You can also swap it for your favorite broth.
**You can find udon noodles in the Asian section at the grocery store or online here.
