  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients

Noodles

  • 7 ounces udon noodles (vacuum-packaged or frozen)
  • 1/2 tablespoon cooking oil

Protein and Vegetables

  • 1/2 pound raw shrimp (peeled, deveined, tails removed)
  • 12 ounces broccoli slaw
  • 1 green onion, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon jarred minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon cooking oil
  • 1/2 tablespoon cooking oil

Sauce

  • 1/2 tablespoon dark soy sauce (not regular soy sauce)
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce (not regular soy sauce)
  • 1/2 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the noodles: Cook the udon noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, if the noodles haven’t been cooked in oil, toss them with 1/2 tablespoon of cooking oil to prevent sticking, then set aside.
  2. Chop green onion: While the noodles cook, finely chop the green onion and set aside for garnish.
  3. Make the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the oyster sauce, dark soy sauces, rice vinegar, brown sugar, black pepper, and toasted sesame oil until the sugar dissolves. Set this sauce mixture aside.
  4. Sauté garlic and broccoli slaw: Heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and broccoli slaw, stirring and cooking for 3 to 5 minutes until the vegetables soften slightly. Remove the sautéed vegetables from the pan and place them in a bowl.
  5. Cook shrimp: In the same skillet, add another 1/2 tablespoon of cooking oil. Add the shrimp and 1/2 tablespoon of dark soy sauce, cooking the shrimp for about 2 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque.
  6. Fry noodles: Add the cooked udon noodles to the skillet with the shrimp. Increase the heat to high and stir-fry the mixture continuously until the noodles develop a slight crisp texture, ensuring they don’t burn.
  7. Combine all ingredients: Pour the prepared sauce and the sautéed broccoli slaw mixture back into the skillet. Stir everything together thoroughly to evenly coat the noodles, shrimp, and vegetables with the sauce.
  8. Finish and serve: Turn off the heat, sprinkle the chopped green onion over the dish, and serve immediately. Enjoy your flavorful shrimp and noodles!

Notes

  • Use dark soy sauce for its richer, slightly sweeter taste compared to regular soy sauce.
  • If udon noodles are unavailable, thick fresh egg noodles may be a substitute, though texture will vary.
  • Adjust the brown sugar quantity based on your preferred level of sweetness.
  • To make this dish gluten-free, seek gluten-free soy and oyster sauces.
  • For a spicier kick, add chili flakes or a small amount of chili paste with the sauce.
