Yaki Udon Noodle Stir Fry, made with fresh gluten free udon noodles and tons of fresh veggies, this noodle bowl is so satisfying!
Ingredients
  • Stir Fry Sauce:
  • ¼ cup tamari or gluten free soy sauce (if needed)
  • 2 tbsp vegetarian oyster sauce, or Worcestershire sauce (be sure it's gluten free if needed)
  • 2 tbsp peanut butter or sesame oil (I like to use peanut butter vs oil, provides added protein and flavor, not empty calories)
  • ¼ cup rice vinegar
  • ¼ tsp chili garlic sauce (sambal oelek)
  • 2 tbsp agave nectar (or choice of sweetener-could use date paste)
  • Stir Fry Vegetables:
  • 1½ cups minced onion
  • 2 cups cremini mushrooms sliced
  • 1½ cups julienned carrots
  • 2 scallions, julienned
  • 2 tbsp ginger, julienned or chopped based on preferenec
  • 1 tbsp garlic
  • For a really good sized stir fry; additional options: 2 packs of tofu, pressed (baked-see this tropical baked tofu for ideas, or add directly into pan cubed, 28 oz total), 5 cups chopped napa cabbage, 4 cups blanched broccoli-toss into boil water and cook for 1 min. and throw into ice water to shock
  • 2 red/orange peppers, about 1½ cups multi-colored peppers
  • Fresh udon noodles
  • Toppings: sesame seeds, fresh cilantro, peanuts, and/or siracha
Instructions
  1. Mix sauce ingredients in a bowl, or a blender for better consistency and set aside.
  2. Heat wok until hot enough that a droplet of water will form a tight ball and move freely in pan.
  3. Add onions (I cook oil free whenever possible). To prevent sticking, add a little water or broth to pan. Sauté until nicely golden.
  4. Add in cubed tofu, if cooking in pan/using, and a little of the sauce. Cook for about 2-3 minutes. If baking tofu, add on top of stir fry once ready to serving.
  5. Add in mushrooms, carrots, scallions, ginger, and garlic. Toss for another 2-3 minutes
  6. Add in peppers, napa cabbage-if using, and toss until cabbage just wilts. Toss in blanched broccoli and pour in remaining sauce.
  7. Serve atop fresh udon noodles, rice noodles, or brown rice. For a full Asian meal, add in my Gingered Miso Soup
