Ingredients

Scale

For the Sauce:

  • 2 tablespoons chili oil (with crispy bits, if possible)

  • 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce

  • 1 teaspoon dark soy sauce (optional, for color and depth)

  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar

  • 1 teaspoon sugar

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil

For the Noodles:

  • 2 packs (7 oz each) fresh or frozen udon noodles

  • 1 tablespoon neutral oil (vegetable or canola)

  • Optional toppings:

    • Sliced green onions

    • Toasted sesame seeds

    • Crushed peanuts or cashews

    • Fried egg

    • Steamed bok choy or spinach

Instructions

  • Cook the Udon:
    Bring a pot of water to a boil. Cook udon noodles according to package instructions (usually 2–3 minutes if using fresh or frozen). Drain and rinse briefly under warm water to loosen.

  • Make the Sauce:
    In a small bowl, mix together chili oil, soy sauces, vinegar, sugar, garlic, and sesame oil.

  • Combine:
    In a large pan or wok, heat the neutral oil over medium heat. Add the cooked noodles and stir-fry for 1 minute. Pour in the sauce and toss well to coat evenly.

 

  • Serve:
    Plate the noodles and top with green onions, sesame seeds, or any optional toppings you like.

Notes

  • Adjust chili oil amount to your spice preference.

  • Add a soft-boiled or fried egg for extra richness.

  • Frozen udon has the best texture – look for it in the freezer section.

  • You can add veggies like mushrooms, spinach, or cabbage for more bulk.
