My family LOVES this meal. I make it at least once a month, and I’m excited to share it with you all today. This isn’t just noodles, its a whole meal.. full of veggies, and meat if you want, it’s a meal in a bowl! Udon Noddle Dinner! It’s not authentic, but it is GOOD! {ha!}
I didn’t add meat when I made it this time, but I often add chicken or shrimp and it’s amazing either way. I don’t think you can really mess up this Udon noodle dinner. The sauce is what really gives the yum factor, so the other ingredients are pretty much secondary.
Asian Inspired Udon Noodle Dinner
Ingredients
- Here's what you will need: {serves 4}
- Udon Noodles { I can find this in our local noodle section, but it the US I think you can find them in the Asian section or freezer? You can also substitute another Asian style noodle} Mine come in packs the size of the noodles below.. I used three packs for this recipe.
- 1/4 c. chicken broth
- Thin Mushrooms { I love these Japanese ones!!} {I used 3 bunches}
- Baby Bok Choi {3 cups chopped}
- Carrots chopped finely {3 large ones}
- Sauce: Ketchup, Soy Sauce, Worcestershire Sauce, Oyster Sauce. {2 TBS of each makes a 4 serving size}
Instructions
- Cook the carrots in the broth for about 10 min or until soft. Add the Bok Choi, stir... next add the mushrooms and noodles. Stir to completely mix. In a small bowl, mix 2 TBS of each sauce, then pour over the noodles. Noodles are pre-cooked, so just cooked until heated through. Serve immediately, but re-heated leftovers taste pretty good too!

The mushrooms are my favorite part! Stringy and chewy.. {and I’m not really a mushroom girl, but I love this kind!}
Do you use chopsticks when you eat Asian food? We love to use them at home whenever we can. My four year old uses them more to just stab food, but the rest of us are pretty proficient… I guess that’s what you get for living in Asia for 12 years {ha!}
Do you cook any Asian dishes we should try? Doesn’t have to be authentic, I’d love more suggestions!
