Instructions
- First begin by whisking together your sauce ingredients and set aside.3 tbsp soy sauce or tamari, 1 tbsp vegan oyster sauce, 2 tsp toasted sesame oil, 1 tsp dry sherry, 1 tsp maple syrup, 1/2 tsp rice vinegar
- Veggie tip: Slice up your veggies prior to starting the stir frying process. Pat them dry with a paper towel (This helps so they don't steam. We want crisp veggies, not soggy!) In a large saucepan, begin heating some oil over medium-high heat. Add your sliced red bell pepper. Sauté for several minutes to get a nice outer sear. Then add your carrots, sliced shiitake mushrooms, snow peas, garlic, and ginger. Cook for another 3-5 minutes until the mushrooms are cooked through (but not super soft and rubbery). No need to stir frequently, you want your veggies to get a nice sear. Turn off the heat.1 tbsp sesame oil, 1 red bell pepper, 1/2 cup shredded carrot, 1 cup snow peas, 4-5 ounces shiitake mushrooms, 3 garlic cloves, 1 tbsp fresh ginger
- In a separate pot, cook your udon noodles to package instructions. Drain.7 ounces udon noodles
- Add your udon noodles to the veggie pan along with your sauce. Put it back on medium heat and toss everything until well-combined with the sauce. Warm through for a few minutes.
- Enjoy with sprinkled sesame seeds, green onions, and whatever other toppings or protein additions your enjoy.
Notes
Notes:
- Vegan oyster sauce: Look for mushroom stir-fry sauce. It does add a lot of flavor, but if you can't find it you can use 1 tablespoon hoisin plus an extra splash of soy sauce.
- Dry sherry: Leave it out if you don't keep any - the sauce is still good.
- Gluten-free: Udon noodles are made from wheat so instead use rice-based GF udon, swap tamari for the soy sauce, and check that your oyster sauce is certified gluten-free.
- Vegetable swaps: Shredded cabbage, bok choy, broccoli florets, or bean sprouts all would also work! I don't recommend zucchini and summer squash because they get soggy in recipes like this.
- Protein add-ins: Fold in air fryer tofu at the very end or toss in ½ cup frozen shelled edamame during the last few minutes.
