Ingredients
  

Yaki Udon
  • 1 pkg Udon Frozen, ~ 1lb
  • 1/2 lb Pork Belly, sliced 1/4 lb Bacon, or other protein (see Notes)
  • 1 cup Cabbage Sliced thin
  • 3/4 cup Mushrooms Cleaned, Sliced
  • 1/2 cup Carrots Peeled, Julienned
  • 2 ea Green Onion chopped fine
  • 1 tbsp Neutral Oil
  • 1/2 cup Bell Pepper washed, cored, julienned (Optional)
Sauce
  • 1 tbsp Soy Sauce Dark
  • 1 tbsp Soy Sauce Regular
  • 1 tbsp Oyster Sauce
  • 1 tbsp Mirin
  • 1 tbsp Rice Vinegar
  • 2 tsp Raw Sugar
  • 1 tbsp Sambal Oelek Or Gochujang, Spicy, Optional

Method
 

  1. In a small bowl, combine sauce ingredients as listed above.
  2. Soak udon noodles in hot boiling water in a large bowl for 30-60 seconds or until loosened.
  3. Heat vegetable oil or any neutral oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet or large wok.
  4. Fry pork belly / bacon until golden brown and most of the fat has rendered out, about 2-3 minutes. Remove pork belly from frying pan and set aside.
  5. Reduce to medium heat. Stir fry garlic and onions until translucent, about 30 seconds. 
  6. Add cabbage, mushrooms, carrots and fry until softened, a few minutes.
  7. Feel free to add ¼ cup of water to help cook the veggies and allow the water to fully evaporate before moving onto the next step
  8. Toss in noodles, sauce, and pork belly. Mix until noodles are coated in sauce. Remove off heat.

Notes

I've written this to use sliced pork belly or bacon; one can replace the pork with:
  • Shrimp
  • Chicken
  • Beef
  • Tofu
Just cook the protein as required and add extra fat to the pan.
Veggies can be varied, or for that extra RogueChef twist, perhaps a washed, seeded, minced jalapeno can be added.
