What’s In This Udon Noodle Stir Fry Recipe?

See the recipe card below for full ingredient amounts and recipe instructions!

  • Udon Noodles: I have a few boxes of these udon noodles  in my pantry, and they were the perfect noodle for this dish! Udon noodles are a thick and hearty noodle which works really well with a bright sauce and crunchy cabbage.
  • Cabbage: I used napa, which shredded perfectly.
  • Sesame Oil: The sesame oil gives the perfect toasty flavor to the dressing of this salad. Toasted sesame oil is traditional in a lot of Asian dishes, and will give you salad the perfect flavor.
  • Tamari: tamari is a gluten-free version of soy sauce. Tamari has a bright salty flavor, and adds a really nice depth of umami to this dish. If I am cooking for a crowd, I always use this tamari in my recipes just in case anyone at the table has a gluten allergy, so everyone can enjoy this meal.
  • Peanut Oil: or other light high-oleic oil for cooking over high heat, this peanut oil is perfect for quick frying foods at a high temperature… and won’t break down or over heat like other heavier oils will.
  • Rice vinegar: I love rice vinegar, I always keep this seasoned vinegar stocked in my pantry!
  • Sriracha: for a little spice and flavor!  You can skip the sriracha if you don’t like food too spicy… or load it on even you can take the heat.
  • Green Onion: gives the stir fry a nice bright crunchy finish
