This is a very simple dish, that can be prepared quickly and cheaply. If you can’t find Udon noodles, why don’t you use Spaghetti? Most stir-fried Udon dishes can be made with Spaghetti. I usually use a small (95g) canned tuna, but you may wish to add more tuna, and extra vegetables. The sauce is enough for the extra ingredients, so feel free to do so. I am confident that you will enjoy this dish.

Very nice! I made it with Pearl River Bridge dark soy sauce and it was very good.

Thank you for the comment, Giles. I’m glad to know you enjoyed this dish, and also this dish is good with the soy sauce you used. I always use Kikkoman. I should try other brands,
