Method:
- Start by preparing the aromatics. Finely chop the ginger and garlic, and set them aside. Also, prepare the sesame seeds for garnishing.

- 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.
- Cook the Udon noodles according to the package instructions until they reach the desired level of tenderness. Drain and set aside.
- Once the vegetables are cooked to your liking, pour the prepared sauce over them, coating them generously.
- 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.
- 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.
