Instructions
Prepare the Vegetables
Wash and chop all your chosen vegetables into bite-sized pieces.
Make the Stir-Fry Sauce
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce (or tamari), oyster sauce (if using), rice vinegar, sesame oil, cornstarch, grated ginger (if using), and red pepper flakes (if using). Set aside.
Cook the Vegetables
Heat cooking oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add sliced onion and cook until softened, about 2-3 minutes.
Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Add the harder vegetables like broccoli and carrots first and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until slightly tender-crisp.
Add the remaining vegetables like bell peppers and mushrooms and stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes until they are tender-crisp but still have a bit of bite.
Cook the Udon Noodles
If your udon noodles are clumped together, you can loosen them by briefly rinsing them under warm water or microwaving them for about 30 seconds.
Add the udon noodles to the skillet with the vegetables. Toss gently to combine.
Add the Sauce
Pour the prepared stir-fry sauce over the noodles and vegetables.
Stir-fry everything together for 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and coat the noodles and vegetables evenly.
Serve
Serve the udon noodle stir-fry hot, garnished with sesame seeds, chopped scallions, and chopped peanuts or cashews, if desired.
