Super easy to put together for weeknight dinner and tastes better than Asian takeout! Replace tofu with your favorite meat for a main dish, or make as a side dish to your favorite homemade Asian dinner. This recipe works great either way. 

I used Tofu for a meat-free main course with serving of veggie protein. If you use meat, cook the meat until it is done to your liking. Chicken, shrimp or red meat, this recipe can be adapted to all. Tofu or Meat, this noodle stir fry takes less time to make at home than to order and wait for delivery. 20 minutes start to finish!

Does this sound like a good dinner promise? So, let’s ditch the delivery and make scrumptious Stir Fry with Udon Noodles at home tonight!

Stir Fry with fresh Udon Noodles Tofu and Veggies

Udon Noodles

Udon Noodles are Japanese wheat noodles famous for thick, and chewy texture. These are often used in hot, rich-brothy soups. Fresh Udon Noodles are the most popular variety of Udon. These cook in an instant just like fresh pasta which is perfect for the Noodles Stir-Fry recipes. 

Fresh Udon Noodles are sold refrigerated or frozen. You can buy any one for this recipe. Just make sure to follow instructions on package if noodles require pre-cooking before stir fry. e.g. Frozen Noodles require pre-soak in hot water for 4-5 minutes until noodles thaw and untangle. Other variety are directly stir-fried (cooked) along with stir fry sauce and stir fry ingredients. Noodles cook instantly in heat of wok and steam of stir fry sauce. Heat of pan caramelize'em a bit for extra layer of flavor. (I'm a fan)

I specially like 7 Ounce Package of fresh Udon Noodles. If you wondering where to buy Udon Noodles? Look for Refrigerated/ Fresh Pasta Isle of any US Store. These are so popular in American Chinese cuisine that you will easily find it everywhere. Costco, Whole Foods, Walmart, VONS are to name a few. For rest part of the world, look in local Asian Grocery Store, or buy online here - Dried Udon Noodles, Fresh Udon Noodles.

Stir Fry Noodles Ingredients

Stir Fry Sauce

The base of a good Noodles Stir Fry starts with a delicious Stir Fry sauce. Sauce for this stir fry recipe is inspired from drunken noodles offered in most Thai restaurants. I stir fry silky Udon noodles in umami, sweet and spicy home-blended stir fry sauce until noodles have thick caramelized sauce coating.

Today I'm talking about a homemade, made-from-scratch versatile stir fry sauce. This stir fry sauce recipe is not limited just to this noodles stir fry. It is a versatile sauce that you can use for any stir fry.

If you like Asian flavors, I'm sure you will have soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and sambal chili paste (four quintessential Stir fry sauce ingredients) in your pantry. Other two flavor contributing ingredients in sauce are: oyster sauce and wine.

Traditional stir fry sauce call for Mirin (a sweet Japanese Rice Wine). I cheat here a bit because I don't like hold a bottle of Mirin in my refrigerator just for cooking. White Wine. however, is often at home because we love drinking some with food. So, my simple substitute for Mirin is White Wine mixed with little bit honey. (if you have Mirin at home, feel free to use it. Instructions for both are included in the Recipe Notes).

Honestly, making own sauce instead of buying a bottle makes so much sense. If you like to keep quintessential Stir fry sauce ingredients in your pantry. All that is needed is some wine and oyster sauce.

Udon Noodles Stir Fried in Wok

Oyster Sauce and Substitutes: 

In my experience, good Asian stir fry needs Oyster Sauce. The flavor and color it gives to stir-fried noodles is simple amazing. If you looking for real delicious restaurant-style noodles stir-fry then I recommend investing in small bottle of Oyster Sauce.

You can buy Oyster Sauce in Asian isle of most US Store or buy online. (affiliate link)

When you can't find or don't want to wait to get oyster sauce for this recipe, I also have few simple Oyster Sauce Substitutes. These will not taste 100% same but are very close cuisine.

1) Use equal part soy sauce and hoisin sauce (ratio 1:1).
2) Use 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp honey, 2 tsp fish sauce with 2 tsp corn starch. Stir well. Heat for 1 minute. Mix well.

Quick Weeknight Dinner

Start to finish, it takes 20 minutes to make this stir-fry. You can even make stir-fry sauce up-to 1 week ahead. It may even keep longer, I usually end-up using it within week. Fresh Udon Noodles cook quickly. When I'm time pressed, I keep a pack of pre-cut veggies or slice veggies on weekend and refrigerate to use on weeknights. 

When ready for dinner, simply shallow fry your favorite protein. Add noodles, sliced veggies with stir fry sauce into hot sizzling skillet. Stir-fry noodles with sauce until most liquid disappears and sauce clings to vegetables, tofu and noodles are slightly caramelized by pan frying.
