Instructions
Cook the udon noodles according to the package instructions, typically boiling them for 2-3 minutes. Drain and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves and set the sauce aside.

Push the vegetables to one side of the pan and add the cooked udon noodles to the other side.
Pour the prepared sauce over the noodles and toss to coat evenly while mixing with the vegetables.
Continue stir-frying for 2-3 minutes, ensuring the noodles and vegetables are well combined and heated through.
