Notes

  1. Udon Noodles: I highly recommend preparing this homemade udon noodle recipe (equals 2 servings)! Homemade udon noodles are so much more delicious than any store-bought version! 
  2. Mushroom sauce is the vegetarian pendant to oyster sauce and can be bought in any Asian grocery store (often called “Mushroom Vegetarian Stir-Fry Sauce, Vegetarian Stir-Fry Sauce, or Mushroom Soy Sauce“) Substitute with 1 tbsp of soy sauce and 1 tbsp of sweet soy sauce. Or use 2 tbsp vegetable broth or 1 tbsp soy sauce instead.
  3. Dark Soy Sauce is made of soy sauce, caramel color, and sugar. It’s thicker, darker, and slightly sweeter than regular or light soy sauce and is often used for adding color and flavor to dishes. You can buy it at the Asian market. Substitute with sweet soy sauce or vegetable mushroom stir-fry sauce, although this won’t give your noodles such an intense color.
  4. Leftovers can be stored for up to 3 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
