Yaki Udon
🧂 Ingredients
- Udon Noodles 250g
- Sesame Seed Oil 2 tbs
- Onion 1 sliced
- Cabbage 0.25
- Shiitake Mushrooms 10
- Spring Onions 4
- Mirin 4 tbsp
- Soy Sauce 2 tbs
- Caster Sugar 1 tblsp
- Worcestershire Sauce 1 tblsp
👩🍳 Instructions
Boil some water in a large saucepan. Add 250ml cold water and the udon noodles. (As they are so thick, adding cold water helps them to cook a little bit slower so the middle cooks through). If using frozen or fresh noodles, cook for 2 mins or until al dente; dried will take longer, about 5-6 mins. Drain and leave in the colander. Heat 1 tbsp of the oil, add the onion and cabbage and sauté for 5 mins until softened. Add the mushrooms and some spring onions, and sauté for 1 more min. Pour in the remaining sesame oil and the noodles. If using cold noodles, let them heat through before adding the ingredients for the sauce – otherwise tip in straight away and keep stir-frying until sticky and piping hot. Sprinkle with the remaining spring onions.
