Calories: 580kcal
Ingredients
- 1 brick frozen udon about 250g/8.8oz
- 1 tbsp soy sauce Japanese preferred
- 1 tsp instant dashi
- 1 tsp mirin or sugar
- 1 tbsp neutral oil eg. grapeseed
- 1 pork chop about 1/2lb
- 1/4 medium onion sliced
- 1 cup cabbage chopped or shredded
- 1/2 carrot julienned or shredded
- 1/2 cup katsuobushi shaved dried bonito flakes, optional
Instructions
- Soak the frozen udon in a bowl of warm water, loosening to make sure the strands of noodles are separate. Drain and set aside. Mix together the soy sauce, dashi powder, and mirin (or sugar) with 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Heat up the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced pork and cook until the pork is seared and cooked through, 2-4 minutes.
- Add the onion and sauté, stirring, until soft, but not brown. Stir in the cabbage and carrot, cooking until soft, but still a bit crunchy, 1-2 minutes.
- Add the drained udon noodles and bowl of sauce. Toss everything together, over medium-high heat, until the sauce reduces and coats the noodles, 1-2 minutes. Remove from the heat, and season with salt and pepper. Finish with sliced nori and bonito flakes, if using.
