2 tbsp dark soy sauce

2 tbsp oyster sauce

1 tbsp brown sugar
11 -
½ tsp rice vinegar
# Instructions:
01 -
In a small mixing bowl, combine all the sauce ingredients. Mix well and set aside.
02 -
Heat cooking oil over medium-high heat, add shrimp and stir-fry until both sides change color. Remove from the pan.
03 -
Add cooking oil to the same pan, stir-fry onion and garlic for 2 minutes, then add carrot and mushroom. Cook until the carrot softens, stirring occasionally.
04 -
Add udon noodles, cooked shrimp, and the sauce mixture to the pan. Toss together until well combined. Add scallions and stir for 1 minute.
05 -
Place the yaki udon on a serving plate and serve immediately.
# Notes:
01 -
Make the stir-fry sauce ahead of time to simplify adding it to the udon noodles later.
02 -
Separate the noodles before adding them to the stir-fry. Packaged noodles often stick together, so loosen them up by placing them in hot water.
03 -
If you have a wok, use it for even heat distribution, resulting in perfectly stir-fried noodles.
04 -
Serve immediately for the best taste as noodles are at their prime when freshly prepared.
