Easy & Delicious Saucy Yaki Udon

Featured in 180 discussions! The savory sauce flavor is delicious. Two types of sauce blend together for a rich, slightly sweet taste that will make you want to eat it with rice. It’s quick and easy to make with ingredients you probably have at home.
Recipe background:
Where I’m from, yaki udon is always made with sauce! I was surprised to find that convenience stores and restaurants often use only soy sauce. Please try this rich, hearty, yet gently sweet sauce version. It’s a twist on my mom’s recipe—kids always ask for seconds, and my husband says it goes perfectly with rice!

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Cut the cabbage into bite-sized pieces, slice the green onions into 1 1/2-inch pieces, and cut the pork into bite-sized pieces.
- 2
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the pork and cook until browned, then season with salt and pepper.
- 3
Add the washed cabbage (don’t drain all the water) and stir-fry. When the cabbage starts to soften, add the green onions and stir-fry together.
- 4
Add the chicken bouillon granules and stir until dissolved. Rinse the udon noodles under cold water in a colander to loosen, then add to the pan.
- 5
Stir-fry well for 1–2 minutes. Add the tonkatsu sauce and Worcestershire sauce, then stir-fry for about 2 more minutes until well mixed.
- 6
Serve on plates and top with bonito flakes and aonori (dried seaweed flakes) if desired for extra flavor.
- 7
If you’re not eating right away or saving for the next day, add half the amount of each sauce and stir-fry again to refresh the flavor and loosen the noodles.
- 8
If you add extra ingredients, increase the amount of both sauces to keep the flavor balanced.
