500 g Udon noodles
1 tbsp vegetable oil
3 garlic cloves minced
1 small piece of ginger minced
1 onion cut into half-moons
2 spring onions chopped
2.5 oz bok choy chopped (70 g)

Sauce Ingredients

2 tbsp mirin

Instructions

Cook the noodles according to package instructions. Drain and rinse with cold water. Set aside.
Mix the sauce ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.
Next, prepare all the vegetables and set them aside.
Heat a large pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
When hot, add the garlic, ginger, onion, and spring onions and saute for 1 minute or until soft.
Then, add the mushrooms and bok choy and saute for 4 minutes or until soft. Frequently stir to prevent burning.
Next, add noodles followed by the sauce mixture and stir continuously to combine everything.

Notes

Variations for a spicy Yaki Udon: You can add one tablespoon of sriracha sauce to the sauce mixture if you're a fan of spicy food.

Use a large wok to get the best results: If you use a too-small pan, it won't be easy to toss all the ingredients together, and your vegetables won't cook as quickly as if you were stir-frying them on a larger one.

Prepare all the vegetables ahead: This dish comes out very quickly once you start the stir-frying process. Ensure you prepare all the veggies ahead, so they're ready to go when you need to throw them into the wok and prevent them from burning.
