Black Pepper Stir-Fried Udon:
Ingredients:
8 ounces udon noodles
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 pound (about 450g) mixed vegetables (broccoli, bell peppers, snap peas, carrots), chopped
1 pound (about 450g) tofu or your choice of protein (chicken, beef, shrimp), cubed
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon ginger, grated
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
1 tablespoon black pepper, coarsely ground
1 tablespoon sesame oil
Green onions, chopped, for garnish
Sesame seeds, for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
Cook Udon Noodles:
Cook the udon noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Prepare Protein:
If using tofu, press out excess water and cube it. If using other proteins, ensure they are cut into bite-sized pieces.
Stir-Fry Protein and Vegetables:
Heat vegetable oil in a wok or large pan over medium-high heat. Add the protein (tofu, chicken, beef, or shrimp) and cook until browned or cooked through. Take it out of the pan and keep it aside.
Include a little extra oil if necessary in the same pan. Stir-fry the mixed vegetables until they are slightly tender but still crisp.
Add Aromatics:
Push the vegetables to the side of the pan and add minced garlic and grated ginger. Cook for approximately 30 seconds until the aroma is released.
Combine Ingredients:
Mix the cooked protein back into the pan with the vegetables.
Include the udon noodles that have been cooked and mix everything thoroughly.
Make Sauce:
In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, oyster sauce, dark soy sauce, and coarsely ground black pepper. Drizzle the sauce onto the noodles and mix well to incorporate.
Finish with Sesame Oil:
Drizzle sesame oil over the stir-fried udon noodles and toss to evenly coat.
Garnish and Serve:
Top it off with finely chopped green onions and sprinkle sesame seeds if you prefer. Serve hot.
Feel free to customize the vegetables and protein according to your preferences.
