Ingredients
Sauce:

3 tbsp dark soy sauce
2 tbsp oyster sauce
1½ tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp rice vinegar

Udon Stir Fry:

2 tbsp vegetable oil
½ cup broccoli florets
½ cup button mushrooms, sliced
½ cup snow peas, halved lengthwise
¼ cup red bell pepper, cut into thin strips
¼ cup yellow onion, sliced thinly
4 green onions, cut into 2-inch pieces
2 (7 oz) packages of udon noodles, precooked
3 large cloves of garlic, minced
A ton of freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
¼ cup fresh cilantro leaves

Instructions

1. Make the sauce by combining the dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, brown sugar, and rice vinegar together in a small jar; seal with a lid and shake well. Set aside until needed.
2. Prepare the noodles by boiling water in a large saucepan then cook the noodles for 30-60 seconds to break them up. Remove from the water and drain on a tea towel to remove excess water; set aside until needed. Side Note: I used vacuum-packed udon noodles that are pre-cooked.
3. Make the stir fry by heating the oil in a large cast iron skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the broccoli, mushrooms, snow peas, bell pepper, onion, and green onions and cook, stirring often for 2-3 minutes, or until crisp-tender.
4. Add the noodles, sauce, minced garlic, and lots of freshly black pepper, to taste, then cook, tossing to coat the noodles and veggies in the sauce, for 1-2 minutes.
5. Top with cilantro and serve with freshly cracked black pepper and fresh cilantro leaves on the side. Enjoy.
