♥️ Prepare the sauce If you can get hold of Japanese soy sauce and mirin replace with dark soy sauce and rice vinegar respectively

♥️ For my Yaki Udon sauce I like mixing oyster sauce, dark soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, rice vinegar, black pepper, brown sugar and a pinch of salt. Dark soy sauce is different from light or regular soy sauce. It adds the dark colour to this dish and is also less salty.

♥️ Stir fry the vegetables. On high heat, fry the vegetables just for a minute or two. Take out and keep aside.

♥️ Fry the shrimp. Add a dash of soy sauce (optional for flavour) to the shrimp and cook till they are no longer pink. If you are using any other protein like chicken or beef, you might need to season it more

♥️ Add the udon noodles. In the same pan where you fried shrimp, add the udon noodles and crisp them on high heat for a minute or two. Then pour the sauce and toss. Combine with veggies and turn off heat.

♥️ The toppings. Add chopped spring onion (green part). If it's easily available for you, top with bonito flakes and red ginger, they are very staple additions to the Yaki Udon.
