Ingredients
- 10 ounces udon noodles fresh or dried
- 1 large red pepper thinly sliced, about 1 cup
- 1 ½ cups thinly sliced cabbage about ¼ of a large cabbage
- 1 large carrot thinly sliced, about ½ cup
- 3 ounces snow peas
- 1 Tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 Tablespoons dark soy sauce
- 2 Tablespoons vegan mushroom oyster sauce
- 1.5 Tablespoons mirin
- ½ Tablespoon dark brown sugar

Instructions
- First, cook the udon noodles according to the package instructions. If using fresh noodles, they will only need about 2 minutes of cooking time whereas dried noodles need about 8 minutes. Once cooked, strain and set aside.
- While the noodles are cooking, prep the veggies and sauce. Slice the peppers, cabbage, and carrot into thin strips and set aside.

- Next, add the cooked udon noodles and the stir fry sauce to the wok. Mix together until the noodles and veggies are coated in the sauce. Then, continue cooking for 3-5 minutes until the sauce is sticky.
- Remove the yaki udon from the heat and serve immedaitely. To garnish, top with optional sesame seeds and/or chopped green onions. Enjoy!
Notes
- Please see the blog post for sauce substitution ideas.
- While other noodles can be substituted, Udon noodles are what give this dish a truly delicious chewy texture. Other noodles that can work are soba noodles, ramen noodles, or rice noodles.
- Leftovers can be stored in a closed container in the fridge for 3-5 days or in the freezer for up to 1 month. You can reheat in a wok or the microwave until warmed throughout to enjoy.
