• 1 Tablespoon Ginger
• 1 Tablespoon Garlic
• 1/4 Teaspoon Chili Flakes
• 1/2 Teaspoon Sesame Seeds
• 1 Teaspoon Chili Bean Paste
• Handful of Spring Onions
• 1 Tablespoon Soy Sauce
• 3 Tablespoons Oyster Sauce
• 1 Pack Udon Noodles
• Assorted Vegetables of Your Choice (I used):
  • Spinach
  • Mushrooms
  • Tofu

Method:

1. Start by preparing the aromatics. Finely chop the ginger and garlic, and set them aside. Also, prepare the sesame seeds for garnishing.
2. In a large pan or wok, heat some oil over medium heat. Add the chopped ginger, garlic, and a dash of chili flakes to infuse the oil with incredible flavors.
3. Stir in the chili bean paste for a spicy kick, followed by the spring onions to add freshness and a delightful crunch.
4. Add your choice of assorted vegetables, such as spinach, mushrooms, and tofu. Stir-fry them until they are cooked to perfection, creating a colorful and nutritious base for your Udon noodles.
5. While the vegetables are cooking, prepare the sauce by combining soy sauce and oyster sauce in a small bowl. Mix well to ensure all the flavors meld together harmoniously.
6. Cook the Udon noodles according to the package instructions until they reach the desired level of tenderness. Drain and set aside.
7. Once the vegetables are cooked to your liking, pour the prepared sauce over them, coating them generously.
8. Add the cooked Udon noodles to the pan, stirring well to ensure they are evenly coated in the flavorful sauce and infused with the aromatic goodness of the dish.
9. Allow the noodles to simmer for a few minutes, allowing all the flavors to come together and create a saucy coating that clings to every strand of Udon.
10. Serve the saucy Udon noodles in bowls, garnishing each portion with a sprinkle of sesame seeds for added texture and visual appeal.
