A comforting bowl of Yaki Udon with Shrimp, featuring tender shrimp and chewy udon noodles, infused with garlic and soy sauce.

Ingredients

  • 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

  1. Boil the udon noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and rinse with cold water. Drizzle with some oil and set aside.
  2. Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a pan, toast the minced garlic for 1 minute, and then add the mushrooms. Stir on high heat until cooked. Add the onions, the white part of spring onions, and carrots. Stir for 2-3 minutes. Sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper, then take the veggies out of the pan.
  3. In the same pan, add an additional 2 tbsp of oil and fry the shrimp. Add soy sauce and a pinch of salt. Cook until the shrimp is no longer pink.
  4. Then, add the udon noodles. Fry on high heat, stirring continuously so the noodles slightly crisp up evenly.
  5. Pour in the sauce and stir well.
  6. Toss in the veggies, turn off the heat, and sprinkle the green part of the spring onion on top.
  7. Serve it up on a plate and enjoy!

Notes

Rinse udon noodles after boiling to prevent stickiness. Adjust soy sauce or oyster sauce to taste.
