Ingredients
2 servings frozen udon, approximately 8 ounces each
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 red bell pepper, stemmed, seeded, thinly sliced
4 scallions, ends trimmed, white and green parts thinly sliced and kept separate
2 garlic cloves, minced
1-inch piece of ginger, peeled, minced
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup mirin
1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
4 ounces bean sprouts
1/2 sheet nori, thinly sliced
1/4 cup bonito flakes
Togarashi for serving
Directions
Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Cook udon according to the directions on the packaging. When done, drain in a colander and rinse under cold water. Drain again and set aside. Meanwhile, heat oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add red pepper and stir-fry until lightly browned and still slightly crisp. Stir in green scallions, garlic, and ginger and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add noodles to the skillet. Stir-fry until lightly browned, about 1 minute. Add shrimp, soy sauce, and mirin and stir constantly until shrimp are fully cooked and most of the liquid has evaporated, 1 to 2 minutes. Toss in bean sprouts and cook until just starting to wilt. Divide the noodles between two bowls. Top with a sprinkling of nori, bonito flakes, and togarashi .
