While the noodles cook, return the skillet to medium-high heat and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of sesame oil. Drain the noodles well and add them to the hot skillet.
- Add the shrimp to the skillet and continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the shrimp are just pink, about 5 minutes. Return the onion and peppers to the skillet and toss until heated.

Drain the noodles well and add them to the hot skillet. This udon noodle recipe uses a spicy peanut sauce and a garnish of fresh, crispy radishes dressed in sesame oil. Ground pork is fried in sesame oil until browned all over and then aromatics are added along with the peanut sauce and udon noodles for a perfectly slurpy, saucy udon noodle dinner. This seafood dish is packed with flavor and because shrimp cooks fast, this recipe is a great weeknight option. If the sauce is too thick, thin it with a little water--it should be the consistency of unwhipped cream.
