Ingredients
Scale
Gathering your ingredients for this dish is a breeze, and you might already have most of these in your pantry. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 12 oz udon noodles
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 cup sliced green onions
- 1/2 cup sliced bell peppers (any color)
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro (optional)
If you’re missing something, feel free to get creative. No bell peppers? Try carrots or snap peas. And if cilantro isn’t your thing, just leave it out.
Instructions
Let’s get cooking! Here’s how to bring this dish to life:
- Boil the udon noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add the sliced bell peppers and cook for another 3 minutes, until they are slightly softened.
- Stir in the black pepper, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sugar. Mix well to combine the flavors.
- Add the cooked udon noodles to the skillet, tossing them in the sauce to ensure they are well-coated.
- Toss in the green onions and cilantro, giving everything a final stir before removing from heat.
- Serve hot, with an extra sprinkle of black pepper if you like it spicy!
