Steps

1

Slice the onion in half horizontally, then thinly slice. Peel the carrot and cut into thin strips. Roughly chop the cabbage into small pieces.
2

Trim the root from the enoki mushrooms, separate them, and cut into quarters. Trim the roots from the komatsuna and chop finely. Cut the pork into bite-sized pieces.
3

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the pork, season lightly with salt and pepper, and stir-fry.
4

When the pork is about 80% cooked, add all the vegetables and stir-fry for 2–3 minutes.
5

When the vegetables start to soften, cover the pan and let cook over medium heat. Meanwhile, mix together all the ● sauce ingredients in a bowl.
6

Once the vegetables are cooked through, add the udon noodles and 2 1/2 tablespoons of the mixed sauce. Stir-fry, breaking up the noodles as they heat.
7

When the noodles are heated through, portion out a serving for the child.
8

Add the remaining sauce to the pan, season with a little more salt and pepper, and stir-fry everything together.
9

Serve the adult portions in bowls and top with bonito flakes if desired.
