Ingredients

See recipe card for quantities.

Fresh Udon Noodles – Best if homemade using this homemade udon noodle recipe! If you’re in a hurry, use pre-cooked udon noodles from the supermarket. I wouldn’t recommend dried udon as they have a different texture and taste.
Broccoli – Adds a great crunch & vitamins.
Shiitake Mushrooms – Best to buy fresh. If using dried shiitakes, you need to soak them for 10 minutes in hot water before using them for this recipe.
Ginger, Garlic, Scallion – Adds extra flavor!
Sesame Seeds – For garnishing! Best to use roasted sesame seeds. Black roasted sesame also tastes great here.
Soy Sauce, Rice Vinegar, Sesame Oil, Sugar, Sambal Oelek – Makes the lightly spicy stir-fry sauce. Instead of rice vinegar, you can use lime juice. Replace Sambal Oelek with Sriracha sauce, red pepper flakes, or omit it if you don’t like it spicy.

Variations

Vegetables: Taste delicious with carrots, bell peppers, green beans, baby corn, sugar snap peas, cabbage, bok choy, or zucchini. Just finely slice them!
Mushrooms: Instead of shiitake, feel free to use button mushrooms, oyster mushrooms, king oyster mushrooms, or enoki (available at Asian stores).
Protein-Rich: Mix in some fried tofu to add some protein.
Nuts: Replace sesame seeds with chopped peanuts or cashews.

Storage Instructions

Stored in an airtight container in the fridge, the noodles stay fresh for 2 days. Reheat in a wok, skillet, or microwave.
