Simple Stir Fried Udon Recipes

Steps:

• Partially cook broccoli and udon in salted boiling water for a few minutes; drain and reserve 1/4 cup of the water.
• Beat the egg with 2 TB water and a pinch of salt.
• Heat 1 TB of oil in a wok; when hot, pour the egg in and cook until set; remove and set aside.
• Heat remaining 1 TB oil in the same wok over high heat; when hot, saute the onions until soft.
• Add garlic and saute for 30 sec.
• Add ham slivers and saute for another 30 sec.
• Stir in udon noodles.
• Add hoisin, oyster, soy sauces, white pepper, wine, chilli flakes; saute for 1 minute.
• Adjust heat to medium-low, add broccoli and reserved cooking water, cook for another minute.
• Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary.
• Add the cooked egg to the noodles, breaking it into pieces as you stir.
• Stir in sesame oil.
• Sprinkle with the reserved chopped spring onion (the green part) and squeeze some fresh lime juice over noodles, then serve immediately.

Steps:

• Mix soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, brown sugar, Sriracha, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic powder, and pepper together in a small bowl. Combine 1/2 of the marinade with pork in a bowl. Refrigerate, 4 hours to overnight. Reserve remaining marinade for noodles.
• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook udon in boiling water for 2 minutes; add broccoli to blanch slightly and continue to boil until noodles loosen, about 1 minute more. Strain and set aside.
• Heat olive oil in a wok or deep pan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; stir-fry until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add pork, bean sprouts, and carrot; stir-fry until pork is no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Add drained udon noodles and broccoli. Pour in remaining marinade and toss noodles to absorb flavors, 2 to 3 minutes. Add green onion; toss lightly, 1 to 2 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat 1 Tbsp. vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Cook cabbage, tossing often, until edges are browned, about 4 minutes. Reduce heat to low and continue to cook, tossing often, until thickest parts of cabbage are tender, about 4 minutes longer. Remove from heat; set aside.
• Place noodles in a large heatproof bowl (or pot if you don't have one) and cover with 6 cups boiling water. Let sit 1 minute, stirring to break up noodles, then drain. Transfer noodles back to bowl and toss with sesame oil. Add reserved cabbage and wipe out skillet.
• Heat remaining 1 Tbsp. vegetable oil in skillet over medium-high and add pork, breaking up and spreading across surface of pan with a spatula or tongs. Cook pork, undisturbed, until underside is browned, about 3 minutes. Break up meat into smaller pieces and continue to cook, tossing, just until meat is cooked through and no longer pink, about 1 minute. Add chopped scallions (the white and pale green parts), ginger, and red pepper flakes and cook, tossing often, until scallions are softened and inside of skillet starts to brown, about 1 minute. Add noodle mixture, mirin, and soy sauce and cook, tossing constantly and scraping up browned bits, until noodles are coated in sauce, about 45 seconds. Remove from heat and mix in sliced scallions (the dark green parts) and 1 Tbsp. sesame seeds.
• Divide noodles among bowls and top with more sesame seeds.
