Notes

  • Measure out all your ingredients before you start cooking, the stir frying process goes quick. 
  • Don’t overcook the udon noodles, if using the frozen kind they only need to cook for 2-3 mins
  • Use a large non stick pan to make sure nothing sticks during the cooking process. 
  • Serve immediately as stir fried noodles are always best eaten right away.
