Ingredients

  • 7 oz (200g) fresh udon
  • 2 garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoon oil lard preferred
  • 3-5 shrimp shelled and deveined
  • 6-8 slices fish cakes
  • 4-5 fresh shiitake mushrooms oyster mushrooms or king trumpet mushrooms, sliced into pieces
  • 2 mini carrots peeled and sliced into thin pieces
  • 1/3 cups shredded cabbage or napa cabbage
  • bird's eye chilies cut
  • soy sauce

Sauce:

  • 4 tablespoons water
  • 1 teaspoon oyster sauce
  • 2 teaspoons sweet soy sauce kecap manis
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 3 dashes white pepper

Instructions

  • Rinse the udon under cold running water, drain, and set aside. In a small bowl, mix all the ingredients for the sauce and stir to blend well. Set aside.
  • Prepare the soy sauce and chopped chilies in a small saucer. Just add some soy sauce to the chopped chilies.
  • Heat a wok and add the oil (or lard). When the oil is fully heated, add the garlic and stir-fry until fragrant. Add the shrimp and fish cake, and stir-fry until the shrimp is halfway cooked. Then add the mushroom, carrot, and napa cabbage, and stir for a few moments.
  • Add the udon noodles to the wok, followed by the sauce. Stir continuously to combine all the ingredients. Cook for a little while, stirring a few times to ensure the udon noodles are heated through. Dish out and serve immediately with the cut chilies and soy sauce condiment.

Notes

The dish should be a little wet as the sauce should cling to every strand of the udon noodles. It shouldn't be dried. Add a little water if it's become dry.
If you can't find fresh udon, use dried udon. Cook it according to package instructions, about 80% cooked through before stir-frying.
