I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday! I am barely recuperating from all the leftovers, particularly the usual moistmaker that we have each year. But now that the turkey has been devoured and the ham bone has been turned into soup, it’s time to get back to the real world.
Now when I say “real world”, I’m referring to all the leftover veggies I had lingering around in the fridge from all that Thanksgiving prep. So instead of letting that turn to waste, I decided to throw them all together in this quick and easy noodle stir fry. It’s really the perfect clean-out-the-fridge type meal!
Best of all, you can completely customize your veggies and your protein – you can even throw in some of that lingering turkey or leftover ham if you need to use that up too. Either way, this is a great change from all that heavy Thanksgiving comfort food. And the leftovers taste even better the very next day!

This is the 3rd recipe I’ve read from you. All of them so far are simple but amazing. I just want to thank you for sharing your website and these great recipes. I was googling recipes and came upon your website and just started looking over a few of your recipes. Really glad I found your website. Thanks again!
Okay so I’ve tried I think just about every stir fry, chow mein, lo mein recipe on pinterest and they come out too salty or too soggy or too dry but this one was perfection and so easy to whip up. Thank you for this delicious recipe!
This was excellent! Even the picky eaters in my family gobbled it up. Thank you for the recipe!
This looks amazing but I’m not a fan of beef (same with all the other beef-based Asian inspired recipes). Can chicken be easily substituted or will it need tweaks?
Yes, please feel free to substitute chicken, pork or any other protein to your liking.
Made this last night. So delicious. We actually subbed coconut amino for the soy since my laughter is allergic to soy. This was the first Asian dish we have been able to make that she can eat and we really enjoy. This will become a staple in our house! I’ve made many recipes from your site and just love them!
That should say *daughter!
hi just wanted to let you know I love your blog!I love to cook and you inspire me everyday with your amazing recipes and photography . There are so many “wanna be ” food bloggers that it’s actually funny when you read there recipes
This recipe is awesome!! My boyfriend and I decided it was definitely restaurant quality, if not better. We added two medium zucchinis, too, because I love zucchini (although there is a pretty poor selection of good zucchini this time of year!). Yum! Can’t wait to make it again soon.
Love your recipes. what brand of udon noodles do you use?
Cassie, I actually can’t remember what brand I used. I was also limited in choices at my local grocery store so it was really what they had available in the refrigerated section.
Just made this, sooooo damn delicious. Just like all the other recipes you post. Thank you for all the recipes you post!!!
Glad I’ve found your great recipes! I’m getting some great ideas for mixing it up in the kitchen, getting kind of bored with the same things. Thanks for posting your recipes and for your BEAUTIFUL photos of them 🙂
This was so delicious; the best I have ever made at home. That sauce was soooo good. I had to substitute wheat linguine for the udon but will be making this again and again. Thanks for sharing!
I do not want to use oyster juice can I substitute it?
You can omit it completely and try adding more soy sauce, to taste.
Made this tonight for the family and they loved it! Thanks for a scrumptious, easy and VERY tasty recipe. I’ll definitely be making this again!
Just made this tonight will make it again!!!!
This would be a big hit for dinner at my house! Adding it to the must-try soon list!
This was really good recipe! Easy, fast and delicious! i loved noodles.Thanks for sharing
I found 7-ounce udon noodles on my grocery shelf. They appear to be cooked and vacuum packed. Should I do anything different since they are not the refrigerated kind? Thanks!
Nope – you should be good to go!
At our Lowes Food Store in Oak Island, NC, I found cooked Udon noodles in the Oriental section. They were cooked, but not refrigerated. Hope this helps.
You make the best simple sauces. LIke it’s with ingredients I have on hand.
I love stir fries. Another excellent one pot meal.
Greetings! I can’t seem to find refrigerated udon noodles or any other refrigerated asian noodles anywhere. Is there any suitable substitute?
Thank you.
You can try substituting ramen or yaki-soba noodles, although udon noodles would really be best!
I found Hokkien Stir Fry Noodles at Walmart. In the asian food aisle. They were almost the samething. They may work for you.
I couldnt think of what to make for dinner. Thank you for the recipe and idea.
