Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz udon noodles
- 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp hoisin sauce
- 1 tbsp sriracha or chili garlic sauce
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 1 carrot, julienned
- 1 red bell pepper, julienned
- 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds
- 2 lime wedges
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
Instructions
Cook the udon noodles according to the package instructions. Drain, rinse under cold water, and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sriracha, and sesame oil to make the sauce. Set aside.
Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels, then season with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 1-2 minutes per side, until pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the pan and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the carrot and red bell pepper to the pan, and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they are slightly tender but still crisp.
Reduce the heat to medium, add the cooked udon noodles to the skillet, and pour the sauce over the top. Toss to coat the noodles evenly with the sauce.
Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and gently mix everything until heated through, about 1-2 minutes.
Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds.
Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for a zesty kick.
