    What is Yaki Udon

    Yaki Udon is a famous Japanese stir-fried noodle dish made with thick Udon style noodles, mixed with a sweet or spicy soy based sauce. Mixed with meat and vegetables, this dish is fabulous for creative minds in the kitchen. You can use different meats and veggies to keep it fresh and exciting. The key to this dish is the Udon noodle and the incredibly flavorful sauce.

    For the recipe today we are using shrimp, carrots, onion, garlic, and cabbage with a compliment of our sweet soy sauce and spices. Follow below for step-by-step Shrimp Yaki Udon.

    Ingredients Needed

    Ingredient Notes

    • Udon: The best udon noodles come in airtight, vacuumed sealed packages in the produce section of your grocery store. Any brand works fine.
    • Shrimp: any sizes works fine about 12-15 pieces or more.
    • Onion: you can use white or red.
    • Soy Sauce: since I couldn't find dark soy sauce anywhere. I used low sodium soy sauce instead. If you have dark soy sauce then that's great but if none then no big deal. Dark soy sauce adds more colour for Udon.
    • Oyster Sauce: for umami flavours.
    • Worcestershire Sauce: that sour and tangy flavour for extra kick.
    • Sugar: white or brown works great. You can use honey as well. This balances the sauce.
    • Vegetables: cabbage and carrots. You can also add snow peas If you like.

    Step-by-Step Instructions

    Step 1. In a small mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, oyster sauce, worcestershire sauce and sugar.
