Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the frozen udon noodles and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until they separate and soften. Drain and set aside.
Heat cooking oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and stir-fry until fragrant.
Add the thinly sliced beef to the wok.
Season the beef with oyster sauce, soy sauce, dark soy sauce, sugar, ground black pepper, and MSG. Stir-fry until the beef is mostly cooked through.
Add the shrimp and continue to stir-fry until they turn pink and are fully cooked.
Add the sliced celery and onion. Stir-fry for about a minute until they are slightly tender but still crisp.
Add the cooked udon noodles to the wok. Toss everything together to combine with the sauce.
For a darker color, add a bit more dark soy sauce and toss to coat the noodles evenly.
Add the chopped green onions and give the stir-fry a final toss.
Serve immediately.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a wok or skillet over medium heat, adding a splash of water or soy sauce to restore sauce consistency.

Yes. Thaw frozen noodles or use fresh ones; reduce initial cooking time since fresh udon requires less time to soften.
Add shrimp in the final 2–3 minutes of cooking. They turn opaque and curl when done; overcooking toughens them.
Bell peppers, broccoli, snap peas, carrots, and mushrooms are ideal. Cut them into bite-sized pieces for even cooking.
Cook noodles and prepare ingredients in advance, but stir-fry just before serving to keep vegetables crisp and flavors fresh.
No. MSG enhances umami depth, but the oyster and soy sauces already provide rich flavor if you prefer to omit it.
