Cooking Instructions
- 1
Note: Some people find this recipe a bit salty. If you think it might be too much soy sauce, add it gradually and taste as you go.
- 2
Cut the vegetables and pork into bite-sized pieces.
- 3
Heat a little oil (not listed in ingredients) in a skillet. Add the pork and stir-fry.
- 4
When the pork changes color, add the harder vegetables first and stir-fry until they start to soften. Once softened, season with salt and pepper.
- 5
Add the udon noodles. Pour the dashi broth over the noodles, gently loosen the noodles, cover, and cook for 1 minute over medium heat.
- 6
Remove the lid, add the sake and soy sauce, turn the heat to high, and cook until most of the liquid evaporates.
- 7
Lower the heat, add the bonito flakes, and mix well so they are evenly distributed.
- 8
Serve on plates. Top with aonori (dried seaweed flakes) or pickled ginger if you like.

My Family's Kabocha Squash Hoto Udon Noodles My Family's Kabocha Squash Hoto Udon Noodles
Kabocha Hoto is Yamanashi's local speciality. Home-made Hoto is the best. This is our family's recipe.It is quite tasty when some of the Japanese kabocha squash are cooked down and melt into the soup after simmering. If all the kabocha is going to be like this it will be too much so save half of it for adding to the dish later. The noodles have flour (to avoid sticking to each other) and we cook them without removing it so the resultant soup will be quite nicely thick. It is easy to burn at the bottom of the sauce pan so stir occasionally. Recipe by TOMOTOMO cookpad.japan -

An Osaka-native's Sauce Yakisoba (or Stir-fried Udon Noodles) An Osaka-native's Sauce Yakisoba (or Stir-fried Udon Noodles)
I was born and raised in Chuo Ward, Osaka, and love "okonomiyaki," "yakisoba" and "takoyaki".There are so many yummy restaurants here, but they're always so crowded... Even if these don't taste or look exactly the same as what you'd get in those places, I'm actually quite proud of what I've got here.Everything I've listed here are hints. Yakisoba and stir-fried udon noodles are such simple dishes, but those served at the okonomiyaki shop are really yummy.If you take some extra care during just a couple of steps, your noodles will taste so much better.I know yakisoba dishes vary in taste by region, but I hope you'll try this out at least once! For 1 serving. Recipe by *ai* cookpad.japan -

Fried Udon Noodles Fried Udon Noodles
In a certain famous Okonomiyaki restaurant, they add dried bonito flakes to their griddle-fried udon noodles and I copied that idea for this.Just adding dried bonito flakes enriches the flavor!Use leftover vegetables in the fridge such as cabbage and carrots.Some vegetables give out water, so adjust the amount of seasoning if the taste is still thin and light after adding the Japanese worcestershire sauce and soy sauce.
