Shrimp Yaki Udon Recipe
Shrimp Yaki Udon Recipe is similar to yakisoba, another popular Japanese stir-fried noodle dish, but it uses thick and chewy udon noodles instead of thin and curly soba noodles. Udon noodles are made from wheat flour and water, and they have a neutral taste that absorbs the sauce well.
