Prawns and Veggies with Pan-Fried Udon Noodles
Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 tablespoon ground ginger
  • 1 1/2 cups water, divided
  • 4 stalks celery, halved lengthwise and cut into 2-inch sticks
  • 1/2 red bell pepper, sliced into thin strips
  • 1/2 yellow bell pepper, sliced into thin strips
  • 10 prawns, peeled, or more to taste
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 (7 ounce) packages fresh udon noodles
Instructions
1
Combine the savory liquid ingredients of soy sauce, water, brown sugar, and grated ginger in a small saucepan over low heat.
2
Simmer the mixture gently, stirring occasionally, until it reaches your desired consistency and is ready to be incorporated into the dish.
3
Meanwhile, in a separate small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup of water with sliced celery and bell peppers over medium heat.
4
Cover the saucepan and let it cook undisturbed for approximately 10 minutes, allowing the vegetables to tenderize.
5
In a large saucepan, combine the remaining 1 cup of water with udon noodles over medium heat.
6
Cook the noodles for 4 to 5 minutes, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
7
Drain the noodles and return them to the saucepan over medium heat.
8
Stir in one-third of the prepared sauce, allowing it to combine with the noodles.
9
Continue cooking the noodles until they are heated through, adding an additional 3 to 4 minutes.
10
Remove the cooked noodles from the saucepan and set them aside.
11
Add the prawns to the same saucepan, stirring occasionally until they are opaque throughout and cooked through, taking around 3 to 5 minutes.
12
Divide the noodles evenly between two bowls.
13
Sprinkle a squeeze of lemon juice over the prawns, which are still in the saucepan, and stir to coat them evenly.
14
Divide the cooked vegetables evenly over the top of the noodles, followed by a division of the prawns on top.
15
Spoon any remaining sauce over the dish to taste, allowing each component to shine in harmony.
