These Udon Noodles & Veggies are delicious! The noodles have a naturally sweet flavor that requires very little extra seasoning. We will definitely be making these again!
Begin by cooking the udon noodles. I like to drain mine in a colander and then run cool water over them.
In a wok or large stir-fry pan, add veggie broth for stir-frying veggies. I like to add the onions and mushrooms first because they take a little longer to cook.
After about 5 minutes, add the broccoli and other veggies and allow them to cook uncovered until slightly tender, making sure broccoli is still bright green and not overcooked.
While the vegetables are cooking, whisk together the stir-fry sauce ingredients, and set aside. Adjust the measurement to your taste.
Once the vegetables are done, add the noodles and sauce to the pan and allow it to thicken. Serve warm.
