  • 1 tablespoon neutral oil (avocado or canola)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 small onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium carrot, julienned

Instructions

  2. Heat oil in a large wok over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until no longer pink, about 3-4 minutes. Remove and set aside.

  4. Add onion, carrot, cabbage, and bell pepper. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp.
  5. Add pre-cooked udon noodles to the wok. Gently separate them with tongs.
  6. Pour prepared sauce over everything. Return cooked chicken to the wok.
  7. Toss everything together vigorously for 2-3 minutes until sauce thickens and coats everything.
  8. Turn off heat and drizzle with sesame oil. Toss once more and serve immediately with green onion and sesame seeds.

Notes

For gluten-free version, use tamari instead of soy sauce and gluten-free udon noodles. Vegetarian option: substitute chicken with tofu or chickpeas and use vegetarian oyster sauce. Store leftovers in airtight container in refrigerator for up to 3 days.
