Fish Cake Udon Stir Fry. Savoury chewy udon noodles with a soy sauce base paired with bouncy fish cakes and crunchy leafy greens. Ready in 20 minutes and great for dinner time!
My fish cake udon recipe is really easy to make and if you have many Asian ingredients in your pantry, you most likely will have everything to make these noodles.
This is a recipe that my in-laws used to make for me and my husband whenever we would go over for dinner. It is simple, filling and delicious. You can change the veggies to whatever you please!
To key to a really good stir fried udon with fish cake is to source really delicious fish cakes! I always buy mine from H-mart as I find the Korean ones to be more tastier. They contain green onions and sometimes corn!
Another trick to ensuring a delicious chewy udon noodles stir fry is to never boil your noodles. When you boil your noodles and then stir fry them, it can cause your noodles to go soggy.
