Instructions

Step 1: Cook 8 oz dried udon noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop cooking.
Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp sesame oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tbsp minced fresh ginger and 3 minced garlic cloves and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 3: Add 1 cup sliced shiitake mushrooms and 1 cup snap peas. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until mushrooms are tender and snap peas are crisp-tender.
Step 4: Add the cooked udon noodles back to the pan. Stir in 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp mirin, and 1 tsp rice vinegar. Toss everything together and cook for 2 minutes until heated through and sauce coats the noodles.
