  4. Add udon noodles to the pan; fry on high heat while stirring continuously until they slightly crisp up evenly. Pour in oyster sauce, dark soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, crushed black pepper, and toasted sesame oil; stir well to combine all flavors.
  5. Toss back in the sautéed vegetables into the noodle mixture; gently mix until everything is heated through.
  6. Turn off heat; sprinkle chopped green parts of spring onions over the top. Serve hot on plates, enjoy your Yaki Udon with Shrimp!
