A quick and flavorful sesame noodle dish perfect for a fast and satisfying meal.
Place the fresh udon noodles in a mixing bowl and cover them with hot water.
Using hot water helps to loosen the noodles for easier stir-frying.
Drain the noodles thoroughly using a colander.
Ensure the noodles are well-drained to prevent them from becoming soggy during stir-frying.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over high heat.
Make sure the skillet is hot before adding the noodles to achieve a nice stir-fry texture.
Add the noodles to the skillet and stir-fry for about 1 minute.
Keep stirring the noodles to prevent them from sticking to the skillet.
Drizzle the sesame oil over the noodles and toss to coat evenly.
Adding sesame oil at the end preserves its rich flavor.
Sprinkle with fresh cilantro, salt, and ground black pepper to taste.
Adjust the seasoning to your preference for a balanced taste.
Serve the noodles warm and enjoy your meal.
For a complete meal, pair the noodles with a light salad or steamed vegetables.
