For a richer flavor, try adding a splash of sesame oil to the sauce. Feel free to substitute other vegetables like broccoli florets, snap peas, or carrots. If you don't have fresh udon noodles, dried udon or even spaghetti can be used as a substitute. Adjust the amount of brown sugar to your liking, depending on how sweet you prefer the sauce. For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce or a drizzle of sriracha at the end.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
20 mins
In a small saucepan, whisk together soy sauce, water, brown sugar, and ground ginger. Bring to a simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is dissolved and the sauce slightly thickens. (Prep time: 5 minutes, Simmer time: 10-15 minutes). Keep warm.
02
Step
15 mins
While the sauce simmers, combine 1/2 cup water, celery, and bell peppers in a separate small saucepan over medium heat. Cover and cook, without stirring, until the vegetables are tender-crisp, about 10 minutes. Drain well and keep covered to retain warmth. (Prep time: 5 minutes, Cook time: 10 minutes)
03
Step
7 mins
In a large saucepan, combine the remaining 1 cup water and udon noodles. Cook over medium heat until the noodles are separated and tender, about 4-5 minutes. Drain the noodles thoroughly and return them to the saucepan over medium heat. (Prep time: 2 minutes, Cook time: 5 minutes)
04
Step
5 mins
Pour about 1/3 of the prepared sauce over the noodles and stir to coat evenly. Cook, stirring frequently, until the noodles are heated through and slightly sticky, about 3-4 minutes more. Push the noodles to one side of the saucepan. (Prep time: 1 minutes, Cook time: 4 minutes)
05
Step
6 mins
Add the prawns to the empty side of the saucepan. Cook until they turn pink and are opaque throughout, about 3-5 minutes, flipping once halfway through. (Prep time: 1 minute, Cook time: 5 minutes)
06
Step
3 mins
Divide the noodles evenly between two bowls. Sprinkle the prawns with lemon juice while still in the saucepan and stir to coat. Arrange the cooked vegetables on top of the noodles, followed by the lemon-glazed prawns. Drizzle the remaining sauce over the top to taste. Serve immediately. (Prep time: 3 minutes)
