Ginger

1 tablespoon, grated

Carrot

1 large, julienned

Sesame oil

1 tablespoon

Green onions

Instructions

1. Cook the udon noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside, tossing them with a bit of vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
2. In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until hot.
3. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet. Sauté for about 1 minute, stirring frequently until fragrant.
4. Incorporate the julienned carrot, sliced bell pepper, and broccoli florets into the skillet. Stir fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp and vibrant.
5. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil to create the stir-fry sauce.
6. Add the cooked udon noodles to the skillet, followed by the stir-fry sauce. Toss everything together until evenly coated and heated through, about 2-3 minutes.
7. Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
8. Serve hot and enjoy this delightful dish with your choice of protein, such as chicken, beef, or tofu, if desired.
