How to make Udon Stir Fry

This udon noodle recipe is so quick and easy to make! The entire recipe can be whipped up in about 30 minutes and is easy to customize depending on what veggies you have on hand. Win-win!  Here’s a closer look with step-by-step directions (full recipe at the bottom of the post):

Step 1: Cook the Udon Noodles

Cook the udon noodles in a large pot of boiling water according to package directions.  Drain and rinse under cool running water.   Drizzle with oil and toss to prevent the noodles from sticking together.

Step 2: Caramelize the mushrooms

Add mushrooms to sizzling oil in a large cast iron skillet or Dutch oven.  Stir to coat and spread into an even layer (some will overlap which is okay).  Cook undisturbed until they turn deeply golden brown on the bottom, about 10 minutes.  (You can use this time to make the stir fry sauce). Once the bottoms of the mushrooms are golden, give them a stir and continue to cook, stirring occasionally until the mushrooms are deeply caramelized, about 5 more minutes.

Step 3: Make the Gochujang Sauce

Whisk the stir-fry sauce ingredients together in a medium bowl; set aside.

Step 4: Stir-Fry the Veggies

To mushrooms, add the bell peppers, carrots, ginger, garlic and the white parts of the green onions.  Cook for 2 minutes or until the onions are softened.

Step 5: Bring Everything Together 

Add the stir fry sauce and bring to a simmer until slightly thickened, about 1 minute.   Add the noodles, spinach, and basil and toss until the spinach is wilted, about 1 minute.

Step 5: Garnish and Serve

Garnish with remaining green onions and sesame seeds before digging in!
