Instructions

Step 1: If using frozen udon noodles, rinse under warm water and drain well. Set 12 oz udon noodles aside.
Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add 3 minced garlic cloves and 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger, stir-frying for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 3: Add 12 oz peeled and deveined shrimp, cooking 2-3 minutes until pink and just cooked through. Remove shrimp and set aside.
Step 4: In the same pan, add 1 cup sliced shiitake mushrooms and stir-fry for 4 minutes until softened and slightly browned.
Step 5: Add the udon noodles, cooked shrimp, 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp sesame oil, 1/4 tsp red chili flakes, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Stir-fry everything together for 2-3 minutes until noodles are heated through and coated with sauce.
Step 6: Remove from heat and garnish with 2 sliced green onions before serving immediately.
