Instructions

  1. Step 1: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 400g udon noodles and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until al dente. Drain thoroughly and set aside. Tip: Add 1 tbsp oil to the boiling water to prevent noodles from sticking.
  2. Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp soy sauce in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat until fragrant. Add 1 cup broccoli, 1 cup carrots (julienned into 1/4-inch strips), and 1 cup bell peppers (sliced into 1/2-inch rings). Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, until vegetables are bright green and tender-crisp. Tip: Avoid overcrowding the pan—cook in batches if needed.
  3. Step 3: Pour in 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce and stir to coat the vegetables. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, until the sauce thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
  4. Step 4: Add the cooked udon noodles to the wok. Toss vigorously for 2-3 minutes, ensuring the noodles are evenly coated in the sauce.
  5. Step 5: Garnish with 2 scallions (chopped finely) and serve immediately. Tip: For extra flavor, sprinkle a pinch of sesame seeds or chopped cilantro before serving.
