Ingredients
¼ cup Soy sauce
2 tablespoons Vegetarian oyster sauce
1 tablespoon Mirin
2 Garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon Toasted sesame oil
2 Bell peppers, sliced
1 large Carrot, peeled and thinly sliced on the bias
1 small White onion, thinly sliced
3 8.81-oz blocks Frozen precooked udon stir-fry noodles
4 cups Shredded napa cabbage
Scallions, sliced, for garnish
Directions
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, vegetarian oyster sauce, mirin, minced garlic, and toasted sesame oil to create the sauce. Set aside.
Heat a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the sliced bell peppers, sliced carrots, and sliced onion. Stir-fry for 4–5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables begin to soften and develop light color at the edges.
Add the shredded napa cabbage to the wok and continue stirring for another 2–3 minutes until it wilts and releases moisture.
Break apart the frozen udon noodle blocks and add them to the wok. Toss everything together for 2–3 minutes, breaking up the noodles as they warm through.
Pour the reserved sauce over the noodles and vegetables. Toss continuously for 2–3 minutes until the sauce coats everything evenly and the noodles are heated through.
Divide the stir-fry among four serving bowls and garnish with sliced scallions. Serve immediately while hot.
Comments
Every ingredient is available at any major Charlotte grocer—Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Walmart, and ALDI all stock udon noodles, soy sauce, oyster sauce, mirin, and fresh vegetables year-round, with no special trips required. The cost per serving lands around $2.50–$3.00, driven mainly by udon noodles and sesame oil, which are reasonable staples; vegetables are cheap and the sauce ingredients are modest. The stated 25 minutes is honest if you have your mise en place ready, though actual kitchen time for a home cook is closer to 30–35 minutes with vegetable prep and noodle cooking. It reheats well in a skillet or microwave and easily feeds a family of four, though it does need attention while cooking—a stir-fry can scorch if left unattended.
