Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Boil water and cook udon noodles according to package instructions (3-5 minutes). Drain and rinse under cold water, then drizzle with neutral oil.

  3. In the same skillet, add 2 tablespoons of neutral oil, increase heat to high, and cook shrimp for 2-3 minutes until pink and opaque. Add a splash of soy sauce and a pinch of salt, tossing to coat. Remove from pan.
  4. Add cooked udon noodles to the skillet and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until slightly crispy on edges.
  5. Pour in the sauce ingredients, stir to coat noodles, then add sautéed vegetables and chopped spring onions. Mix together until well combined.
  6. Transfer to a serving plate. Garnish with additional spring onions or sesame oil. Serve hot.
