INGREDIENT NOTES
Udon Noodles: Fresh udon noodles are typically found in the refrigerated produce section of the grocery store. Some come with spice packets (a popular brand sold at Target is Nasoya Udon Noodles) which is OK, you can discard the packet and just use the noodles.
Veggies: Mix and match the veggies according to your preference. Some other veggie ideas: carrots, green beans, peas, peppers, onions, mushrooms, water chestnuts, or baby corn.
Fresh Ginger: Fresh ginger gives this dish such an authentic, nice flavor. However, you can use ginger paste or omit it altogether if you don’t like the taste.

Confidence Tip
Because stir fries cook so quickly, chop/prep all of your ingredients (veggies, sauce, noodles) and have them by the stove and ready to go! That will allow you to focus on cooking everything to perfection!
STORAGE & REHEATING
- Storage: Store leftover teriyaki noodles in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.
- Reheating: Reheat stir fry in a skillet over medium-high heat. You may need to add a splash of water or soy sauce to loosen up the sauce a bit. You can also reheat the noodles in the microwave.
- Make Ahead: This recipe is perfect to prep ahead! Cut veggies and store them in a large Ziploc bag. Make the sauce and store in a sealed container. Last, cook the noodles, cool, and store them in a Ziploc bag.
When you are ready to cook, everything is ready to go!
Additions & Substitutions
ADDITIONS:
- Protein: Add sliced chicken, beef, shrimp, or tofu to this dish! Cook the protein before and remove it from the skillet. Continue with the recipe, then toss protein back in at the end after you add the noodles and sauce.
SUBSTITUTIONS:
- Noodles: The type of noodle in this dish can easily be swapped. I personally love the texture of chewy udon noodles, but soba noodles, ramen noodles, or even rice noodles all work with this dish–although gives it a totally different texture.
- Veggies: Mix and match the veggies with whatever you love or have on hand. Some other ideas: carrots, green beans, peas, peppers, onions, mushrooms, water chestnuts, or baby corn.
- Toppings: Swap out the green onions and sesame seeds for chopped nuts like peanuts or cashews.
YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED
These noodles serve as a great side dish to go alongside a protein such as this teriyaki salmon. However, because of the hearty texture of the noodles and all the veggies, it serves nicely as a main dish all on its own!
They are Japanese noodles made from wheat flour. They are thick and have a delicious, chewy texture. They are pale white or slightly yellow in color.
Nope, no need for a trip to the Asian market is needed! Fresh udon noodles like the ones used in this recipe can be found a large chain grocery stores–typically in the chilled produce section. I have even seen this brand at my local Target store.

This is such a quick and easy recipe to make. I’m a big fan of edamame so I like that it is included in this noodle bowl too. I might try adding chicken to it for extra protein.
