  • 1 garlic (minced)
  • 1 yellow onion (sliced)
  • 8 white mushrooms (sliced, approximately 120g)
  • 1 carrot (cut matchstick-style)
  • 1 spring onion (green & white separately chopped)

  • 1 tsp brown sugar
  • 1/3 tsp freshly crushed black pepper

Instructions

  1. Boil the udon noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and rinse with cold water. Drizzle with some oil and set aside.
