Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pack (200g) udon noodles (preferably vacuum-packed)
- 2 tbsp neutral oil
- 8–10 shrimp (approx 100g)
- 1 garlic (minced)
- 1 yellow onion (sliced)
- 8 white mushrooms (sliced, approx 120g)
- 1 carrot (cut matchstick-style)
- 1 spring onion (green & white separately chopped)
- 1 tbsp regular soy sauce
- Pinch salt and pepper
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tsp dark soy sauce (NOT regular one)
- 1 tsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp brown sugar
- 1/3 tsp freshly crushed black pepper
- 2 tsp toasted sesame oil
- Pinch salt
Instructions
- Boil the udon noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and rinse with cold water. Drizzle some oil over them and set aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a pan. Toast the minced garlic for 1 minute, then add the mushrooms. On high heat, stir until cooked.
- Add the onions, white part of the spring onions, and carrots to the pan. Stir for 2-3 minutes, then sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper. Remove the veggies from the pan.
- In the same pan, add 2 tablespoons more oil and fry the shrimp. Add soy sauce and a pinch of salt. Cook until the shrimp are no longer pink.
- Add the udon noodles to the pan. Fry on high heat, stirring continuously so the noodles slightly crisp up evenly.
- Pour the sauce over the noodles and stir. Toss in the veggies you set aside earlier.
- Turn off the heat and sprinkle the spring onions on top. Serve on a plate and enjoy!
Notes
Rinse the udon noodles after boiling to prevent them from sticking. Do not overcook the shrimp; they become rubbery if cooked too long. Feel free to add any vegetables you have on hand.
