Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pack (200g) udon noodles (preferably vacuum-packed)
  • 2 tbsp neutral oil
  • 810 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 package instructions. Drain and rinse with cold water, drizzle with a bit of oil and set aside.
  2. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a pan, toast minced garlic for about 1 minute. Add mushrooms and cook on high heat for 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add onions, white part of spring onions, and carrots. Stir for another 2-3 minutes and season with salt and pepper. Remove from pan.
  4. In the same pan, add 2 tbsp oil and toss in the shrimp with a splash of soy sauce. Cook until no longer pink, about 3-4 minutes.
  5. Add the udon noodles to the pan with the shrimp and fry on high heat, stirring continuously to crisp the edges.
  6. Pour in the sauce mix (oyster sauce, dark soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, black pepper, and toasted sesame oil). Stir to coat the noodles.
  7. Return the sautéed veggies and green part of the spring onion to the pan, stir to combine, and serve immediately.
