    In the same pan, add the onion and carrots. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until starting to soften. Add the broccoli, cabbage, garlic, and ginger. Stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are crisp-tender.

    Make the Noodles: Cook the udon noodles according to package directions until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water.
