delicious udon

Japanese food can be so comforting. There was a point in my life when every time I went out with my friends we would opt to eat at Japanese restaurants. And I would almost always pick udon every single time (on top of splitting some sushi with my friends, of course).

What Is Udon?

Udon is a versatile noodle that can be cooked in a myriad of ways for both hot and cold dishes. The noodles are made from wheat flour, quite chewy, and thicker than soba noodles. This helps in absorbing the savory flavors of the marinade. Which is why it makes the best noodles when it comes to stir fry in my opinion!

chicken udon stir fry recipe

This recipe is inspired by the Japanese dish, Yaki Udon, which literally translates to “fried udon”. Yaki Udon can often be found at street festivals across Japan, known as omatsuri. The simplicity of this udon makes it easy to be enjoyed anywhere.

This udon stir fry is a dish that’s meant to be a quick and easy meal. And the best part is that you can make it with any of the ingredients you have in your fridge! You can easily substitute the protein and vegetables I used with whatever you have or prefer.

Give this a try and let me know how it goes!

how to make chicken udon stir fry

  1. Marinate chicken thigh for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Boil udon noodles and drain. Set aside.
  3. Start by sautéing onions and garlic over medium heat until onion is translucent. Add carrots and continue sautéing for another minute.
  4. Add chicken with all the marinade sauce into the pan and stir.
  5. Once chicken is fully cooked, add 2 tbsp of water and stir.

Notes for Chicken Udon Stir Fry

  • I added corn starch in the marinade to give the udon a thicker coat of the sauce and to tenderize the chicken. It also gives you a more satisfying noodle slurp as well. 😉
  • I used chicken in this recipe, but feel free to switch it with any other protein of your choice.

  • 1/2 carrot (julienned)
  • 1/2 green onion (for garnishing)
  • 1 chicken thigh (diced)

For marinade/sauce

  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 3 tbsp light soy sauce
  • 3/4 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 1 tbsp corn starch
  • 1/2 tbsp chili flakes (or 1/4 tsp black pepper instead for non-spicy version)
  • 2 tbsp water (while cooking)

Instructions
 

  • Marinate chicken thigh for at least 15 minutes.
  • Boil udon noodles and drain. Set aside.
  • Start by sautéing onions and garlic over medium heat until onion is translucent. Add carrots and continue sautéing for another minute.

Notes

*You can add the carrot before or after the chicken. I prefer a softer carrot texture so I add it before so it can cook for longer. Add it once the chicken is cooked for a crunchier texture.

The best pizza in the city where pizza was invente The best pizza in the city where pizza was invented @farahjeats 🍕 
📍Pizzeria Da Michele, Naples, Italy 
📍 Pizzeria D’angeli, Naples, Italy
We got pizza from one of the oldest pizzerias in Naples, Italy and it didn’t disappoint. We got there right when it opened and there was already a line. We ended up getting the pizzas to-go and ate it on the hood of our rental car. Each box of pizza was only €5 and we got every item on the menu (it was only a 4 item menu anyway 😂). While waiting in line, the smell of the wood fired pizza was sooo good we were so hungry by the time we got our orders. We got pizzas from across the street too just to compare. There was no line at that restaurant and you could easily get a table. It was a little bit more expensive per pizza but still affordable. Both pizzas were delicious! Still dreaming about it till this day 🥲
Fun fact: Eat, Pray, Love was filmed at Pizzeria Da Michele!

This is such an easy and addictive snack. I always have to make a lot if I’m sharing because I tend to finish the first batch all by myself 😂

Save and share this flavorful and delicious recipe!
Ending my Ramadan series with one of the best dishes. This is a dish that’s traditionally served during Eid/Raya in Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore. Every family usually has their own version of this. It’s usually served with nasi impit (cubed rice), lemang or pulut kuning (turmeric glutinous rice) but also just as good with white rice. 
Making this is a truly a labor of love especially when you make big batches. It can take hours! Families will cook this the night before Eid so the dish will be ready in time for the big celebration. The whole house will usually smell like rendang when this is made and honestly, one of the best smells that reminds me of such great and fond memories. 
This month just flew by— thanks so much for tuning in. I’ll be back with my usual twice a week recipes starting next week 💛
