Soak udon noodles in hot water for no more than 1 minute to release the packet shape, using a fork or chopsticks to separate them without breaking.

Heat vegetable oil in a large wok until smoking hot.

Add marinated pork shoulder to the wok and sear for 30 seconds to 1 minute without moving it to retain moisture.

Flip the pork to sear the other side until browned and separated.

Add shiitake mushrooms to the wok and sear them on high heat, allowing moisture to be sealed in.

Introduce mixed vegetables to the wok, tossing them through the noodles for a couple of seconds on high heat.

Add light soy sauce and dark soy sauce for seasoning, along with a pinch of sugar, and toss everything together.

Pour in chicken stock around the edges of the wok to lift any caramelization off the bottom and mix into the noodles.

Continue to stir-fry until the noodles start to stick slightly at the bottom, indicating they are ready.
