1. In a wok or large frying pan, heat a little oil over medium-high heat. Add napa cabbage and daikon, and stir-fry until lightly browned and tender.
2. While the vegetables are cooking, cook the udon noodles according to package instructions, then drain and set aside.
3. In a small bowl, mix dark soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sambal oelek, rice vinegar, sesame oil and sugar or honey. Add vegetable broth or water to obtain a fluid texture.
4. Add the cooked udon noodles to the wok with the vegetables. Pour the sauce over the mixture and stir well to coat the noodles and vegetables. Cook for a further 1-2 minutes for the sauce to thicken and caramelize slightly.
5. Transfer stir-fry to plates and garnish with fresh bok choy leaves. Serve hot.
