Udon Noodle Stir Fry

Do you love udon noodles? What’s not to love?! They’re thick and chewy, and terrific in stir fries, like this Udon Noodle Stir Fry. If you can’t find them in your grocery store, you can order them online through Amazon.com, or you can replace them with a fettuccine or linguine pasta – whole grain of course. But do try to find them, we think they’re worth it. We’ve tried udon noodles made from buckwheat, whole wheat, spelt, brown rice, and kamut grain in this recipe. Try different varieties and see which you like best.
