Stir Fry Udon 干炒乌冬

Yet another dish whipped up with just a few simple ingredients. I am starting this Goat year on a slow and relaxing note. Nothing too fanciful for our tummies. I wanted to give my kitchen a longer break before it gets busy again this weekend.

and so... I stir fried some udon.

I love udon. Soupy ones. Stir fried ones. I love them all.  

Homecooked food are the best.
