Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by boiling water in a large pot over high heat. Once boiling, add the udon noodles and cook them according to the package instructions, typically about 3-4 minutes. Drain the noodles and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process.
- In a large frying pan or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of neutral oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, taking care not to burn.
- Next, add the sliced white mushrooms to the pan and stir-fry for about 2 minutes until tender. Then introduce the sliced yellow onion, carrot, and the white parts of the spring onion, cooking for another 2-3 minutes.
- In the same frying pan, add an additional 2 tablespoons of neutral oil and increase the heat to medium-high. Toss in the seasoned shrimp, adding a splash of soy sauce, and fry for about 3-4 minutes until the shrimp turn pink and opaque.
- Now, return the prepared udon noodles to the pan, ensuring to separate any that are clumped together. Fry them on high heat for around 2-3 minutes, stirring continuously.
- Pour the prepared sauce mixture over the noodles. Mix everything well, then fold in the sautéed vegetables. Allow the mixture to cook for another 1-2 minutes.
- Once well-combined, remove the pan from heat. Garnish the Yaki Udon with the green parts of the spring onion for a fresh pop. Serve immediately while hot.

Notes
Ensure udon noodles are well-drained after rinsing; excess water can lead to a soggy texture when stir-frying.
