Shrimp and Noodles

Zona House
This Shrimp and Noodles Recipe has become one of my favorites for whipping up a delicious udon noodle stir fry at home. I love how it captures that restaurant-quality taste right in my own kitchen! The chewy udon noodles paired with tender shrimp and vibrant broccoli slaw create such a satisfying dish. And the stir-fry sauce is simply the best! It's my go-to recipe whenever I'm craving something comforting and flavorful.

Equipment

Ingredients

For the stir fry

  • 7 ounces udon noodles (vacuum-packaged or frozen)
  • 2 Tablespoons cooking oil (divided)
  • 1 green onion
  • 1 teaspoon jarred minced garlic
  • 12 ounces broccoli slaw
  • ½ Tablespoon dark soy sauce (not regular soy sauce)
  • ½ pound raw shrimp (I buy peeled, deveined, and tails removed)

For the sauce

  • 1 Tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 Tablespoon dark soy sauce (not regular soy sauce)
  • ½ Tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 2 Tablespoons brown sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the udon noodles according to the package instructions. If they aren’t cooked in oil, toss the noodles in 1/2 tablespoon of oil and set aside.
  • While the noodles cook, chop the green onion on a cutting board and set aside.
  • In a bowl, whisk the sauce ingredients and set aside.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a skillet on medium heat.
  • Add the minced garlic and broccoli slaw. Cook and stir for 3-5 minutes. Remove the veggies to a bowl.
  • In the same pan, add an additional 1/2 tablespoon of cooking oil, shrimp, and 1/2 tablespoon of dark soy sauce. Cook until the shrimp are no longer pink, about 2 minutes on each side.
  • Then add the cooked udon noodles. Fry on high heat, stirring continuously, until the noodles slightly crisp up.
  • Pour in the sauce and the broccoli slaw mixture. Stir to combine.
  • Turn off the heat and sprinkle on the chopped green onion. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Notes about ingredients and substitutions
  • Dark soy sauce is preferred over light soy sauce for its rich color and slightly sweet, molasses-like flavor. Its thick, shiny texture enhances dishes like braised meats and stir-fried noodles. Aged longer and often with added caramel, it contributes depth and visual appeal rather than just saltiness.
Storage instructions
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.
