Udon noodles are always available in our freezer since it’s a highly requested item for my girls. They do tend to grab people’s attention due to their thickness, chewiness, easy to grab and slurp kind of characters. I typically add Udon noodles in soups, but for today, I decided to create something different. This Savory Seafood Udon Stir Fry has the perfect balance of protein, veggies, flavor and texture!! At the same time you will have so much fun slurping them all up! Make it any time of the week, since most of the ingredients are freezer friendly!! So who’s ready to cook??
