Preparation

  • In a large pot add water where so it's 3/4 full. Bring it to a boil. After boiling add Udon and cook for 1 minute. Strain the water out.

Let's cook!

  • Cut onion and carrot into thinly.
    Cut green onion 1 inch long pieces, cabbage 0.5 chunks, and shiitake mushrooms into 1 inch size pieces.
  • Cut meat (I use thinly pork belly here) into 1 inch (2.5 cm) pieces.
  • Use a medium sized pan and turn the heat to medium low.*1 Cook the pork belly first. Cook both sides well. Move to a side of the pan.
  • Add the cut onion to the pan (empty side) and cook with medium heat until the onion gets softer and the color turns clear.
  • Mix with the pork belly and stir for about 1 minute.
  • Add carrot, green onion, cabbage, and shiitake mushrooms into the pan. Turn the heat to medium low and cover with a lid and cook for 5 minutes.*2
  • Open the lid and turn the heat to higher. Then add Udon and the sauce ingredients (soy sauce, sake, sugar, dashi powder) and cook for 3 minutes while stirring.
  • Turn the heat off!

Let's eat!

  • Prepare a plate and the Serve Yaki Udon! As an option, on top of the Yaki Udon, add katsuobushi and black pepper! I think this is worth adding :)

Notes

*1 I use pork belly so it gives a lot of oil so I don't use oil but it is depending on which meat you use, so if you need oil, please add with the meat.
*2 When everything is cooked well, the volume of the ingredients should be about 1/2 of what your started with.
