Ingredients

• Stir Fry:
• 1 Tbsp. olive, peanut or vegetable oil
• 1/2 medium onion, sliced
• 2 carrots, thinly sliced (matchsticked)
• 1 cup green onion (green part only), sliced diagonally
• 3 cups baby spinach
• 2 (200g/7 oz) pkgs. soft (vacuum-packed) udon noodles

• Sauce:
• 1-2 heaping tsp. Sambal Oelek (or Asian Chili Garlic Sauce/Sriracha)
• 2 tsp. rice wine vinegar
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1 tsp. sesame oil
• 2 Tbsp. brown sugar
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 Tbsp. fresh ginger, minced
• For garnish:
• Sesame seeds
• Additional sliced green onion
• 1/4 cup chopped parsley or cilantro

Instructions

1. Prepare your vegetables and set aside. Mix up the sauce by combining all the ingredients in a small bowl. Set aside. If you like, you can fill a large bowl with hot tap water and add udon noodles to the bowl to soak, so they can be separated before adding to the wok This isn't necessary though, as you can add fresh udon noodles directly from the package to the wok, if you prefer to skip this step.
2. In a large frying pan or wok, heat oil over medium-high heat until very hot. Add carrots and cook, stirring for a minute or so. Add onions and cook, stirring, until onions are soft and carrots are tender. Add green onion and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds or so.
3. If soaking udon noodles, gently stir to loosen udon noodles and separate, then drain. Add drained noodles (or unsoaked fresh noodles) to the wok and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds or so. Add sauce and cook for another 30 second, stirring to combine well. Scatter baby spinach over top and cook, stirring constantly, until spinach is wilted.
4. Remove stir fry to a bowl or plate and garnish with sesame seeds, additional sliced green onion and parsley/cilantro.
