Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 1 bunch Scallion
  • 100 gram Mushroom
  • 60 gram Kale
  • 1/2 Red Chili Pepper
  • 100 gram Bean Sprouts

Sauces and Oils

  • 1 teaspoon Dark Soy Sauce
  • 2 tablespoon Light Soy Sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Sesame Oil
  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil

Spices and Garnishes

  • 1 pinch Sesame Seeds
  • 1 pinch Crushed Red Pepper Flakes

Main Ingredient

  • 2 package Udon Noodles

Instructions

  1. Prepare Scallions: Cut the scallion into green and white parts. Slice each part separately and set aside, keeping them apart for later use.
  2. Mix Sauce: In a small bowl, combine dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, sesame oil, sesame seeds, and crushed red pepper flakes. Stir well and set this sauce mixture aside.
  3. Fry Scallion Whites: Heat olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add the white parts of scallions and fry for about one minute until the edges become slightly golden, releasing their aroma.
  4. Add Vegetables: Add mushrooms, kale, and red chili pepper to the pan. Stir-fry these ingredients for 4 to 5 minutes until vegetables soften but still retain some bite.
  5. Add Noodles: Incorporate the udon noodles into the pan with the vegetables, breaking apart any clumps gently with tongs or chopsticks.
  6. Add Sauce and Toss: Pour the prepared sauce over the noodles and vegetables. Toss everything together continuously for 3 to 4 minutes, ensuring the sauce coats all ingredients evenly and noodles are heated through.
  7. Finish with Bean Sprouts and Scallion Greens: Turn off the heat. Immediately add the bean sprouts and green parts of the scallions, stirring for an additional 30 to 40 seconds to mix and slightly warm the sprouts.
  8. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle extra sesame seeds over the top for garnish and serve the stir-fried udon noodles hot.

Notes

  • Use fresh vegetables to maintain a crisp texture in the stir-fry.
  • Adjust the amount of red chili flakes or fresh chili pepper depending on your heat preference.
  • If udon noodles are packaged fresh, rinse under warm water before using; if dried, cook according to package instructions before stir-frying.
  • For a vegetarian version, ensure the soy sauces are vegetarian-friendly (no added fish ingredients).
  • Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
