Japanese stir-fried Yaki Udon with a variety of vegetables in a flavorful soy sauce. Customize with your choice of protein.
Ingredients:
  • 0.25 cup oyster sauce
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons mirin
  • 1 tablespoon unseasoned rice vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon packed light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Sriracha sauce
  • 1 medium garlic, grated
  • 1 medium (5-oz.) bunch scallions
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 12 ounces sliced mixed wild mushrooms (such as cremini, oyster, and shiitake) (about 6 cups)
  • 2 medium heads baby bok choy, thinly sliced
  • 1 (10 ounce) package carrots, cut into match-stick size pieces
  • 0.5 cup water, divided
  • 1 (14 ounce) package pre-cooked udon noodles (such as KA-ME)
  • Optional garnishes: thinly sliced nori, cilantro, lime wedges, furikake seasoning
Instructions:
  • Combine oyster sauce, soy sauce, mirin, rice vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, sesame oil, sugar, Sriracha, and garlic in a small bowl; set aside. Trim and discard root ends of scallions. Chop whites and light greens into 2-inch pieces and quarter lengthwise; set aside. Thinly slice dark green parts of scallions and keep for garnish.
  • In a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat, heat the oil. Add the mushrooms in a single layer and cook without stirring until the first side is browned, approximately 3 minutes. Stir and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender and golden brown on both sides, about 4 more minutes. Add bok choy, carrots, sliced white and light green parts of scallions, and 1/4 cup of water to the pan with the mushrooms. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are just tender, around 3 minutes.
  • Add the udon noodles and the remaining 1/4 cup of water, gently separate the noodles with tongs or a spoon. Pour in the reserved oyster sauce mixture and stir constantly until the noodles and vegetables are well-coated, which should take about 1 minute. Transfer to serving bowls, top with the reserved sliced scallion greens and any optional garnishes you like. Serve right away.
