  • 2 packages of Udon noodles
  • 400 g peeled shrimp
  • 2 shallots
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • ½ red chili pepper
  • 2 carrots
  • 100 g green bean pods
  • 2 tablespoons of sesame oil
  • 4 tablespoons of dark soy sauce
  • 4 tablespoons of brown cane sugar
  • 4 tablespoons of oyster sauce
  • 2 tablespoons of lime juice
  • 1 handful of fresh coriander
  • White sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

  • 1
    Prepare the sauce by mixing dark soy sauce, brown sugar, oyster sauce, and lime juice in a bowl until the sugar dissolves. Tip: lime juice can be replaced with the same amount of rice vinegar.

    In a wok or a large pan, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped shallots, crushed garlic, and thinly sliced chili pepper. Add the shrimp and sauté for about 3 minutes until they turn pink.
  • 3
    Add the carrots cut into long, thin strips (julienne) and green bean pods to the pan. Pour in the previously prepared sauce and continue to sauté everything for another 2 minutes.

    Finally, add the Udon noodles. Since they are usually pre-cooked, it is enough to heat them in the pan for one minute, stirring well to coat them with the sauce.
  • 5
    Serve immediately, garnishing the dish with white sesame seeds and fresh coriander leaves. Enjoy!
