Stir-Fried Black Pepper Udon Noodles

This morning I can't even wake up at 7 am. I was planning to go to the wet market this morning but yesterday night slept at about 4 am. MSNing with new blogger friend Wen and also PK till about 2 am and then did the laundry and the ironing together with Dearie Suki till almost 4 am. Fuyoh.... *sweating*

4 of us slept till 10 am this morning and surprisingly today the kids slept till so late. Maybe because I didn't set the air-con off timer. Once wake up again start cleaning the house while Dearie Suki take care the kids.

Lunch time..... nothing in the fridge. For 3 weeks I didn't go to the market and what I can find in the fridge is prawn, beancurd skin, 2 packet of Udon Noodles ( it has been there for ages, but still not expired ) and 1 carrot. What am I going to do with it .... Stir-Fried Black Pepper Udon Noodles lor.

Did a quick one for the kids and boil 2 hard boiled eggs for them. Shape it with an egg moulder I bought from Ebay. Well I think the lunch is lovely for the kids and myself also start enjoying it with the kids after a tired morning of cleaning.


The stir-fried black pepper udon is super easy. Cut the carrot with a STAR cutter and for the sauce you just need 1 tbsp black pepper sauce, 2 tbsp oyster sauce, 1 tbsp Kikkoman soya sauce, 1 tsp chicken granules, 3 tbsp water and 1 tsp dark soya sauce.

Here are the easy steps :
1. Sautee chopped garlic till fragrant.
2. Add in carrot, beancurd and the prawn. Stir for a minute.
3. Add in udon noodles and pour the sauce over. Cover and simmer for about 5 minutes or until the sauce is a bit dry up. Dish and serve.

This Udon Noodles set is for the kids. For Le-Ann she have the egg with the fish shape and for Ee-Thern he have the egg with a car shape. But I think the egg I bought is a bit too small and end up the fish without the mouth and the car without the front portion. Also each of them have 2 slices of persimmons.


No doubt about it, Le-Ann finished up the whole plate but little boy a bit naughty only eat half of the noodles. He still prefer rice, really a ' FARN TONG'.

Tonight dinner, Dearie Suki will take care as I will be going out to have fun with my 'ci mui' friends again to celebrate Nick & Sam birthday. We will have dinner at KLCC then proceed to a pub or bar somewhere around that area. Wanted to go to 'The Loft' but it is fully booked, aiyar... anyway hope that we can find a nice place for our drinking session.

Hi I am from Singapore. I like udon noodles too and isn't it amazing what you can do with so few ingredients? I can just add lettuce and lots of tonkatsu sauce to the udon noodles and they still taste fantastic. :)

Looks nice. If my mum decorate my dinner plate like that, wah, sure I sapu everything lah!

I noticed your daughter's chopsticks are very long and she holds them right at the end (just like I did when I was about her age or a bit older). Not that I believe in housewives' tales but they used to say that I would marry far away cos of the way I held my chopsticks! Hahahaha.

Thanks so much for the recipe! My kids love these noodles at the shop across the street here in Malaysia, but I'm Canadian and didn't have a clue how to cook them! They'll be so surprised.
