Ingredient Notes
Udon Noodles – You can use fresh udon noodles or dry udon noodles cooked according to package instructions. Shrimp – Medium sized, deveined and shelled. I also like to remove the tails from my shrimp if I make dishes like this because I simply don’t want to be bothered with them as I eat. Butter – We need a little bit to cook the shrimp in and a bit for the veggies. Sugar – Granulated will do the trick. The sugar helps balance the flavors of our sauce. Garlic and Ginger – Essential flavor enhancers in a stir fry. Vegetables – We are using onion, sugar snap peas, carrots, red bell pepper and baby corn today! Feel free to use whatever veggies you have on hand. Frozen veggies work as well.
For the Sauce
Black Peppercorns – It’s the star of the dish. You’ll want them ground. Also, feel free to add as much or little as you like. Soy Sauce – I used a dark soy sauce in this dish, it’s what gives the noodles that dark color. Regular soy sauce works as well. Rice Wine Vinegar – For a bit of tang. Oyster Sauce or Hoisin Sauce – Staples in Asian cuisine. You can find these sauces both in the international section of your grocery store. Cornstarch – To thicken the sauce a bit!
