Instructions
Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, rice vinegar, soy sauce, water, and cornstarch. Whisk until well combined and no lumps remain. Set aside.
Cook Udon Noodles: Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Add udon noodles. Use a spoon to gently separate the noodles. Cook according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
Stir Fry Veggies: In a large skillet, heat oil over high heat. When oil is hot, add broccoli, snow peas, and bell pepper. Cook, stirring often until veggies are crisp-tender (about 3-4 minutes). Add frozen shelled edamame, garlic, and ginger. Stir, and cook 2-3 minutes more.
Add Noodles: Add the cooked noodles to the veggies and mix them into the stir fry until everything is well-combined. Give the sauce a quick stir and pour into the skillet. Reduce to medium heat. Toss to combine all the ingredients and cook 1-2 minutes more until the sauce is thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon.
Finish: Top the stir fry with green onions and sesame seeds and enjoy!
Notes
Note 1: 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 just discard the packet and just use the noodles. Pro Tip: Stir frying is a quick process. It helps to have all of your veggies prepped and ready to go before starting the cooking process. Nutrition is only an estimate based on the Very Well Fit Nutrition Calculator
