Shrimp Stir Fried Udon Noodle

Shrimp stir-fried udon noodles are a popular dish found in many Asian restaurants in the USA. Udon noodles are a type of thick, chewy noodle made from wheat flour and water, similar to Japanese udon noodles.

Here's a simple recipe to make shrimp stir-fried udon noodles at home:

Ingredients:

Instructions:

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

2. Heat the vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add the shrimp and cook until pink and fully cooked, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the shrimp from the wok and set aside.

3. In the same wok, add the minced garlic and grated ginger and stir-fry for 1 minute.

4. Add the cooked udon noodles to the wok and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes, until heated through.

5. Add the cooked shrimp back into the wok and stir in the soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), and sesame oil.

6. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

7. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions before serving.

This dish is best served immediately, so the noodles remain crispy and the shrimp stay juicy. You can adjust the amount of soy sauce and oyster sauce (if using) to your taste preferences. Some variations of this dish may include additional vegetables like bell peppers, carrots, or mushrooms, but the core elements of shrimp and udon noodles remain the same.
