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

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, combine sauce ingredients as listed above.
  • Soak udon noodles in hot boiling water in a large bowl for 30-60 seconds or until loosened.
  • Heat vegetable oil or any neutral oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet or large wok.
  • 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.
  • Reduce to medium heat. Stir fry garlic and onions until translucent, about 30 seconds. 
  • Add cabbage, mushrooms, carrots and fry until softened, a few minutes.
  • 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
  • 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.
