Dinner’s ready in 20 minutes with this super Easy Udon Noodle Stir-Fry! This recipe is from fellow food blogger Emily Dingmann with A Nutritionist Eats. Emily’s take on this dish: Stir-fries are the answer for quick and healthy dinners and this one is SO good. It’s a flavorful noodle bowl that tastes like take-out AND is packed with protein and fresh vegetables.
Udon noodles – let’s talk about them! So you may have had them out, but chances are that you’ve never cooked with them. (At least I hadn’t until now.) Udon noodles are a Japanese wheat-based noodle. I love them because they are thick and have a great chewy texture and because they are frequently found fresh, you don’t even have to boil water, just throw right into the stir fry.
For this easy udon noodle stir-fry we’re going to quickly sauté some ground pork with mushrooms and Napa cabbage, and then an easy sauce. It’s another meal that includes all of the components I always go for (protein, veggies, flavor, starch!) in one bowl. Dinner’s ready in 20 — let’s get to it!

- Prep Time: 10 mins
- Cook Time: 10 mins
- Total Time: 20 mins
- Category: Main
- Method: Stove Top
- Cuisine: Asian
Ingredients
- 2-inch knob of ginger
- 4 cloves of garlic
- 4 ounces shiitake mushrooms
- 1/2 head Napa cabbage
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
- 1 pound ground pork
- 1 pound fresh udon noodles
- 3 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon fish sauce
- Sliced green onions for garnish
- Sambal oelek for drizzling
Instructions
- Peel and mince the ginger and garlic. Wash shiitake mushrooms with a wet paper towel and thinly slice. Slice the Napa cabbage.
- Heat a large pan (biggest you have!) over medium-high heat and add oil to pan once hot. Add the ground pork and cook for about 3 minutes, breaking up meat with back of a wooden spoon. Add in the garlic and ginger and stir-fry for another 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Add mushrooms and cook for another 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Add cabbage, noodles, soy sauce, sesame oil, and fish sauce. Toss with tongs to combine well. If your pan is TOO full, cover for about a minute to help the cabbage wilt down.
- Top the noodles with green onions and sambal oelek. Serve immediately.
