Instructions
PREPARE THE YAKI UDON NOODLES
- Cook/soften the yaki udon noodles per your packaging directions, 1.5-2 minutes in boiling water. Do not overboil or they can be mushy. Set aside into a bowl and toss with a bit of oil to keep the noodles from sticking.
MAKE THE YAKI UDON SAUCE
- Whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, mirin, brown sugar, optional dashi powder and chili flakes together in a small bowl until smooth. Set aside until ready to use.
MAKE THE YAKI UDON
- Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a wok or large pan over high heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, then stir fry 2-3 minutes, or until cooked through. Set the chicken onto a plate and set aside.
- Heat the remaining oil in the hot wok or pan. Add the mushrooms and cook for 2 minutes, stirring.
- Add the bell peppers, onions, carrots and cabbage. Cook, stirring often, for 5-6 minutes to soften, or until the vegetables are softened to your preference.
- Add the garlic and stir fry for 1 minute.
- Add the noodles, cooked chicken, scallions (green onions) and prepared sauce. Stir fry for 1-2 minutes to heat through, until the liquid has evaporated.
- Serve!
