Observations

How do I store these udon noodles?
The recipe is for one person and should ideally be eaten immediately after cooking. However, you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Can udon noodles be frozen?
Yes, you can freeze them without any problem.

How do I cook udon noodles?
Here, I used pre-cooked udon noodles and followed the instructions on the packet, which recommended cooking them in a frying pan with the other ingredients for 3 minutes, covered, with 3 tablespoons of water. Instructions may vary, so be sure to read the packet!

What can I replace the honey with?
You can replace it with another sweetener: maple syrup, brown sugar...

What can I use instead of shrimp?
You can replace the shrimp with the protein of your choice, or even vegetables, for example!

You can use a neutral oil.

What can I use instead of sesame seeds?
Replace them with fried onions or chopped peanuts, for example!
