Shrimp Drunken Udon Noodles

These Shrimp Drunken Udon Noodles are spicy with a hint of sweetness to take off the edge. Add whatever protein you like, or make a it a vegetarian dish.

Summer is winding down and I’ve been getting back into my routine of cooking on the regular. This week I whipped up one of my favorite Thai dishes, Drunken Noodles. Drunken Noodles is a spicy stir fried noodles dish that is usually made with broad noodles, but I recently had it in a restaurant made with Japanese Udon noodles and it was so delicious that I had to replicate the dish. These drunken udon noodles can be extremely spicy, so I used Hoisin Sauce as a base to take the edge off since it’s slightly sweet.

Defrost the shrimp, pat dry and set aside.

Cook the udon noodles al dente and set aside to drain.

In a small bowl, mix about 2 tablespoons of Hoisin Sauce with 1 tablesoon of Sriracha Sauce and a half tablespoon of Tamari. Set aside.

Slice the peppers, onions, carrots and scallions.

Heat the toasted sesame oil in a hot wok pan and throw in the peppers, onions, carrots and broccoli. Stir fry for a few minutes until slightly tender.

Add the shrimp and stir fry until pink. Do not overcook or they will be tough.

Add the sauce mixture and udon noodles to the wok and stir fry until everything is evenly coated.

Turn off the pan and toss in the scallions.
