I just love to make Noodles for dinner. Reminds me of my college days when I used to make Ramen for dinner. They were my very early days and early encounters with cooking! Today when I make noodles, it's not Ramen but still brings back all the nostalgia of those days. Have you tried my other Noodles recipes like Schezwan Noodles Recipe or Instant Pot Sesame Noodles (10-minutes) {Takeout Style} or Black Pepper Noodles or Easy Lo Mein Noodles or Spicy Ramen Noodles Stir Fry with Vegetables or Lo-Mein Noodles Stuffed Bell Peppers | Noodles Stuffed Capsicum or Vegetable Chow Mein

I strongly believe that there is no memory like food memory and this thing happens to me so often. I take a bite of something and it takes me back to the past lanes of my life, so many memories and anecdotes associated with that time of life come rushing back to me! 💭☺️

Today morning, I woke up and I thought that its July, it's such a hot and sultry day but still somehow, I don't know why I am craving some Asian Noodles, drunken in the sauce. Whenever I think of July, I somehow connect it to me slurping spicy and saucy noodles in a cool AC room watching the day go by, and resting my feet up! And that's how I ended up reaching for my pack of Udon Noodles and got all my favorite Asian Sauces, Sesame Oil, Rice Wine Vinegar out and made this awesome Shrimp Udon Stir Fry.

😋 Let's talk taste

Shrimp Udon Stir Fry has an intense Seafood taste to it due to Shrimps and Oyster Sauce and that's exactly what I love about this Udon stir fry recipe. Also, since Udin noodles tend to hold on to the sauces very well, so they are literally drunken in the sauce made with Oyster Sauce, Soy Sauce, Rice Wine Vinegar, Brown Sugar, Garlic, and Sesame Oil. 🥡 🥢 🤤

I just love the crunch that the veggie provides to this Shrimp Udon Stir Fry. I have used Green Onions, Carrots, and Bell Peppers. You can actually use any veggies you have at home and toss them in Sesame Oil to use in this Shrimp Udon Stir Fry Recipe! It's actually that easy and customizable.
