Instructions

1. Chop all vegetables into similar-sized pieces.

2. In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together soy sauce, vegetable broth, brown sugar, balsamic vinegar, and cornstarch until smooth.

3. Cook udon noodles according to package instructions (usually 2–3 minutes). Drain and rinse with cold water. Toss with a bit of oil to prevent sticking.

4. Heat 1 tablespoon neutral oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add broccoli and carrots; stir-fry for 2 minutes.

5. Add bell peppers, mushrooms, garlic, and ginger. Stir-fry another 2–3 minutes until crisp-tender.

6. Push veggies to the sides of the skillet and pour the sauce into the center. Let it bubble and thicken for about 1 minute.

7. Add cooked udon noodles to the skillet and toss everything together until well coated.

8. Drizzle with sesame oil, toss once more, and serve hot.

Notes

• For extra heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a drizzle of sriracha.

• You can substitute tamari or coconut aminos for soy sauce if gluten-free.

• Great with tofu, tempeh, or even leftover rotisserie chicken if you’re not strictly vegetarian.
