Yakki udong (udon sauté)

Thick udon noodles stir-fried in a sweet-savoury sauce with vegetables and meat, very popular in Korea as a street food. The taste is close to Japanese yakisoba, with a touch more sweetness and chunkier vegetables.

Instructions

  1. Cut the meat into strips, the carrot into thin sticks, the onion into slivers and the cabbage into strips. Mix the sauce in a bowl.
  2. Bring water to a boil and dip the udon in for 1 minute to loosen them, then drain.
  3. Heat the oil in a large pan over high heat. Brown the meat for 3 minutes, then add the garlic, onion and carrot for 3 minutes.
  4. Add the cabbage and stir-fry for 2 minutes over high heat, until tender but still crunchy.
  5. Add the noodles and the sauce, then toss vigorously for 3 minutes to coat and heat them through.
  6. Serve right away, sprinkled with sesame seeds and spring onion, with a fried egg on top if you like.

Variations and tips

Vegetarian version. Replace the meat with shiitake mushrooms and tofu, and the oyster sauce with a mushroom sauce.
