Spicy Ramen Noodles Stir Fry with Vegetables? These are all some of my favorite Noodle Recipes for Dinner.

Noodles remind me of college days when this used to be my dinner. I used to make instant ramen so often those days. And making them again is such nostalgia! So, whenever, I get time, I get my bottles of sauces out and my Pack of noodles and within 10-minutes my dinner is ready!

My kids love Noodles for Dinner too! It's such a fun idea. Also, to make it a wholesome dinner, I sometimes add loads of veggies like Broccoli, Carrots, Mushrooms, Bell Peppers, or whatever I have at home. I also love to add Eggs or Chicken or Pork or Beef to my noodles. Not only it adds protein to the dish, but makes it a wholesome family-friendly, one-pot dinner!

Have you tried Instant Pot or Slow Cooker Noodles? I know cooking Noodles in the slow cooker seems useless because something that takes just 10-minutes on the stovetop takes hours on the slow cooker, but NO! You should try it.

The flavors of Noodles cooked in a Slow Cooker are beyond amazing!!!! Try my Instant Pot / Slow Cooker Sesame Noodles (Take-Out Style). You're going to love it!!!!

• Drain the water and keep it aside.

STEP 2: COOK THE VEGGIES

Remember to saute on high the Udon Noodles and the Veggies so that they get stir-fried to perfection.

Hint: Do not overcook the Udon noodles. After they get cooked, transfer to a colander and wash with cold tap water so that the noodles do not stick to each other.

🥢 Is Udon Healthier than Ramen?

Yes! Absolutely! Udon is made of Wheat Flour and Water. Also, it's low in Sodium and has Zero MSG. So it's obviously healthier than Ramen.

❓ Is Udon easy to digest?

Yes of course! Since these are made of wheat flour so it's easy on your belly. Actually, Udon is a favorite comfort food dish in Japan. Cooked in a hot and flavorful soup this is seriously one of the easiest and most comforting meals.

🗒️ Substitutions

• Buckwheat Soba - instead of Udon use Buckwheat Soba Noodles to make Gluten Free Noodles
• Meat - Make this a wholesome one-pot family dinner by adding Beef or Chicken or Shrimp or Pork. Saute along with the veggies and cook throughly before adding the cooked noodles.
• Vegetarian - This Chili Garlic Udon Stir Fry is a Vegetarian recipe. You can increase the Protein in this Noodle by incuding Tofu or Veggies of Your Choice. Typically, Broccoli or Bok Choy or Purple Cabbage or Scallions are a great addition to this dish.

🗒️ Variations

This Chili Garlic Udon Stir Fry can be customized as per your choice.

• Spicy - Since this is Chili Garlic Udon so its obviously spicy. You can use Roasted Red Pepper flakes to make it less spicy.
• Veggies - You can add veggies of your choice - Broccoli, Bok Choy, Purple Cabbage etc.

🧊 Storage

These Udon Noodles Stir Fry can be refrigerated for 1 week. I recommend not to freeze this as reheated Udon noodles do not taste great.
