This recipe is adapted from their Yaki Udon Noodles recipe. I couldn’t find Udon noodles in a family size so I opted for rice noodles. Plus, although we love broccoli, we prefer spinach in our stir fry. What I love about stir fry recipe is that you can really load up on plenty of vegetables and kids love it! With Mizkan, you don’t have to worry about buying an expensive sauce either. Mizkan products are priced really well and are very easy to use. It is the secret ingredient that turns a skillet of vegetables from ordinary vegetables that kids won’t eat into delicious Japanese cuisine that tastes like it is restaurant made!

Mizkan Mirin is my new favorite! It is a tasty trio of sweet, sour and bitter that turns boring into extraordinary. I sat it on the table when we ate so we could season to each of our taste. A little goes a long way but it is soooo good. It can be used in warm or cold dishes, just like the rice vinegar. Beyond my stir fry soup recipe, Mirin is used as a key component in teriyaki sauce, braised meat and vegetables, tuna poke, miso ramen soup, and stir-fried udon noodles recipes.
Mizkan is a brand that is new to me and America but not new to the culinary world. In fact, Mizkan is the #1 Rice Vinegar Brand in Japan*! It works great in my soup recipe as well as for sushi, marinades, salad dressing, and stir fry dishes. I love that it adds a ton of flavor with no added calories too.
