Ingredients
- 1.10 lb Udon Noodle frozen, or fresh udon prepared to package instructions
- 10 jumbo shrimp peeled & deveined
- 1 green onion finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil or any neutral oil
- 1 clove garlic minced
- ½ teaspoon sesame seeds for garnishing
Noodle Sauce
- 2 teaspoon sesame oil

- ½ teaspoon chicken bouillon powder
- ½ teaspoon Chinese black vinegar or apple cider vinegar/rice vinegar/white vinegar

Instructions
- In a large bowl, soak your frozen udon noodles in hot boiling water just until loosened, about 30 seconds. Strain them and set aside.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large pan on medium heat. Fry shrimp until pink, curled and cooked through. Remove and set aside. Do not overcook them.
- Reduce to low-medium heat and sauté garlic and green onions for 10 seconds or until fragrant.
- Then quickly add to the pan in this order: sesame oil, gochugaru, sugar, chicken bouillon powder, Chinese black vinegar, and both soy sauces, so the ingredients in between don't burn.
- Toss in udon noodles and mix well until noodles are coated in sauce.
- Then toss in the cooked shrimp with the noodles. Remove off heat. Garnish with sesame seeds and more green onions. Enjoy!
