Prepare the Udon Noodles:
Begin by boiling a pot of water. Add the frozen udon noodles and cook briefly until they are just tender, ensuring they do not become too soft. Drain and set aside. -
Prepare the Vegetables and Meat:
While the noodles are cooking, slice the smoked beef into thin strips. Chop the cabbage, bell peppers, and carrots. If using, peel and devein the shrimp, and beat the eggs in a small bowl. -
Cook the Aromatics:
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant. Add the sliced yellow onion and continue to cook until it softens and becomes translucent. -
Stir-Fry the Vegetables and Beef:
Add the cabbage, bell peppers, carrots, and sliced smoked beef to the skillet. Stir-fry the mixture, allowing the vegetables to become slightly tender and the beef to heat through. -
Add Flavors and Noodles:
Pour in the oyster sauce and sesame oil, stirring to coat the vegetables and beef evenly. Add the cooked udon noodles to the skillet, tossing to combine all the ingredients thoroughly. Season with soy sauce, ground black pepper, and optional seasoning to taste. Stir in the sliced green onions. -
Optional Additions:
If using shrimp and eggs, push the noodle mixture to one side of the skillet. Add a small amount of oil to the empty side and scramble the eggs until cooked through. Add the shrimp to the same side and cook until pink and opaque. Once cooked, mix everything together. -
Final Touches and Serving:
Taste the stir-fry and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Once everything is well combined and heated through, remove from heat. Serve immediately, garnished with additional green onions if desired.
