Ingredients
Instructions
Cook the Udon Noodles
Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the udon noodles and cook according to package instructions until tender but still chewy. If using frozen udon, you can often just pour boiling water over them and let them sit for a few minutes. Drain well and set aside.
Prepare the Garlic Butter Sauce
While the noodles are cooking, melt the butter in a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and lightly golden. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
Combine Ingredients
Add the cooked and drained udon noodles to the skillet with the garlic butter. Pour in the soy sauce, mirin, and sugar. Toss everything together vigorously until the noodles are evenly coated with the sauce.
Serve
Transfer the garlic butter udon to serving bowls. Garnish generously with chopped green scallions and a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy the garlicky goodness!
