Ingredients

1 package udon noodles (thick, about ½ pound)

2 tablespoons sesame oil

2 green onions, thinly sliced

½ red bell pepper, thinly sliced

1 cup green beans, sliced

1 carrot, thinly sliced

Sesame seeds (for garnish)

For the Sauce:
¼ cup soy sauce

¼ cup water

¼ cup hoisin sauce or oyster sauce

2 garlic cloves, minced

2 tablespoons ginger, minced

1 tablespoon sugar

1 tablespoon cornstarch

Instructions

1. Prepare the Noodles:

  • Cook the udon noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.

2. Make the Sauce:

  • In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, water, hoisin or oyster sauce, garlic, ginger, sugar, and cornstarch. Set aside.

3. Stir Fry the Vegetables:

  • Heat sesame oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add green onions, red bell pepper, green beans, and carrot. Stir fry for 3-4 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.

4. Combine the Noodles and Sauce:

  • Add the cooked udon noodles to the pan with the vegetables. Pour the sauce over and stir to coat evenly. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, letting the sauce thicken and the noodles absorb the flavors.

5. Garnish and Serve:

  • Sprinkle sesame seeds and additional green onions over the stir fry. Serve immediately.

Notes

Add Protein: For a heartier meal, stir in cooked chicken, shrimp, beef, or tofu in step 4.

More Vegetables: Add mushrooms, bok choy, or snow peas for additional texture and flavor.

Spicy Version: Spice it up with chili paste or red pepper flakes in the sauce.

Gluten-Free Option: Use tamari instead of soy sauce and make sure the hoisin or oyster sauce is gluten-free.
