My kids love Noodles for Dinner too! It's such a fun idea. Also, to make it a wholesome dinner, I sometimes add loads of veggies like Broccoli, Carrots, Mushrooms, Bell Peppers, or whatever I have at home. I also love to add Eggs or Chicken or Pork or Beef to my noodles. Not only it adds protein to the dish, but makes it a wholesome family-friendly, one-pot dinner!

Have you tried Instant Pot or Slow Cooker Noodles? I know cooking Noodles in the slow cooker seems useless because something that takes just 10-minutes on the stovetop takes hours on the slow cooker, but NO! You should try it.

The flavors of Noodles cooked in a Slow Cooker are beyond amazing!!!! Try my Instant Pot / Slow Cooker Sesame Noodles (Take-Out Style). You're going to love it!!!!

  • Add the Cooked Noodles to the pan
  • Toss to combine and stir fry on high
  • Garnish with chopped Green Onions and Serve immediately!

Remember to saute on high the Udon Noodles and the Veggies so that they get stir-fried to perfection.

Hint: Do not overcook the Udon noodles. After they get cooked, transfer to a colander and wash with cold tap water so that the noodles do not stick to each other.

🥢 Is Udon Healthier than Ramen?

Yes! Absolutely! Udon is made of Wheat Flour and Water. Also, it's low in Sodium and has Zero MSG. So it's obviously healthier than Ramen.

❓ Is Udon easy to digest?

Yes of course! Since these are made of wheat flour so it's easy on your belly. Actually, Udon is a favorite comfort food dish in Japan. Cooked in a hot and flavorful soup this is seriously one of the easiest and most comforting meals.

🗒️ Substitutions

  • Buckwheat Soba - instead of Udon use Buckwheat Soba Noodles to make Gluten Free Noodles
  • Meat - Make this a wholesome one-pot family dinner by adding Beef or Chicken or Shrimp or Pork. Saute along with the veggies and cook throughly before adding the cooked noodles.
  • Vegetarian - This Chili Garlic Udon Stir Fry is a Vegetarian recipe. You can increase the Protein in this Noodle by incuding Tofu or Veggies of Your Choice. Typically, Broccoli or Bok Choy or Purple Cabbage or Scallions are a great addition to this dish.

🗒️ Variations

This Chili Garlic Udon Stir Fry can be customized as per your choice.

  • Spicy - Since this is Chili Garlic Udon so its obviously spicy. You can use Roasted Red Pepper flakes to make it less spicy.
  • Veggies - You can add veggies of your choice - Broccoli, Bok Choy, Purple Cabbage etc.

🧊 Storage

These Udon Noodles Stir Fry can be refrigerated for 1 week. I recommend not to freeze this as reheated Udon noodles do not taste great.

    I used a full package of udon noodles (about 7 oz), added sautéed shrimp, used 2 big carrots, and substituted sliced baby bok choy for the cabbage. I also added a little hoisin sauce. I liked this dish, but it was too spicy for me. My lips and mouth were on fire! Next time, I will leave out either the sriracha or the red pepper flakes. It doesn’t need both.
