Udon Noodle Stir Fry

Adapted from Season & Supper's blog 15 minute Spicy Udon Stirfry. 

A noodle bowl that's spicy, sweet, crunchy, and colourful. What more needs to be said?

If you've never cooked with udon noodles before, this is a great recipe to start with. Udons are long, thick noodles that hold flavour from any sauce very well. This noodle bowl is similar to takeout, only it's faster, cheaper, and (dare I say it?) tastes better.

Ingredients for Udon Noodle Stir Fry Sauce

How to make it

1. Chop all of your vegetables and make the sauce before you heat up your wok. Seriously. Once you get started it takes almost no time to cook, so it's really important to have all of your ingredients ready to go. 

2. Turn your wok on high and let the vegetable oil heat up. 

3. Add the carrot, onion, garlic, and green onion and saute for 2 minutes. 

4. Add your udon noodles, then add your sauce and stir until everything is coated. 

5. Add your spinach last. Once the spinach has wilted, your noodle bowl is ready. 

6. Garnish with peanuts and extra green onions.
