Yakiudon
Yakiudon are stir fried thick white noodles made of flour, salt, and water with your choice of protein and vegetables. Beef, pork, chicken, or shrimp are all great proteins to use in this recipe. The stir fry is then seasoned with soy sauce and white pepper at the end. Simple enough. Udon noodles can be found fresh, dried, or frozen at any Asian market for relatively cheap. The best part of making this recipe is that you can make a inexpensive and healthy meal in under 15 minutes.
