Instructions
- Cook Noodles: Prepare the udon noodles according to the package instructions until tender, then drain and set them aside while you cook the rest of the dish.
- Sauté Aromatics: Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute, taking care not to burn them.

- Garnish & Serve: Remove from heat, garnish with sliced green onions, and serve the shrimp udon noodles hot.
Notes
- You can substitute shrimp with chicken or tofu for a different protein option.
- Add vegetables like bell peppers, broccoli, or snap peas to increase the nutritional value and add crunch.
- Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of honey or brown sugar according to your taste preference.
- For a spicier dish, increase the chili flakes or add fresh sliced chili peppers.
