Yaki Udon

Yaki Udon

We all love a trip to Wagamamas for some noodles. Udon are those slippery suckers, nice and thick and lovely and filling. 

A noodle stir fry to rival eating out is really simple on your Big Green Egg. All you need is the EGGspander basket, the BGE wok, and a few simple ingredients available from any normal supermarket. 

If you don’t like the thicker Udon noodles, use some medium Egg noodles like the ones in the picture below.
