Udon Noodle Stir Fry with Mixed Beans

by Shalveena Rohde,

My poor wife had to work very long hours one day last week and so I got command of the kitchen again. I cooked up something interesting since I wanted to use both udon noodles and beans. Anyway, it didn't taste all too bad and thus I present here without further ado the recipe:
