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.

Easy Yaki Udon with Mentsuyu Easy Yaki Udon with Mentsuyu
Not your usual soy sauce or Worcestershire sauce... this yaki udon has a slightly special twist! (´∀｀) Use any leftover veggies from your fridge. Kamaboko (fish cake) or chikuwa (fish sausage) also go great with this dish!Recipe background:When I was a student, I used to love the yaki udon at a small karaoke place I frequented. I wanted to recreate that flavor at home after the shop closed down, so I came up with this recipe. (´∀｀) The original is gone, but now I can enjoy it at home!

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!

Easy and Delicious Yaki Udon Easy and Delicious Yaki Udon
The only seasoning is yakiniku sauce (haha). It's so simple and classic that it's hardly a recipe, but it's quick to make and definitely delicious. *This recipe was featured on 10/18/2007! Thank you to everyone who tried it and shared their feedback (人´∀｀)☆The origin of this recipeIn our family, we sometimes add udon when grilling meat on a griddle... So, since we didn't know how to season yaki udon, we thought, why not just use yakiniku sauce?

This is a comforting ankake (thickened broth) udon I make when someone in the family catches a cold! It’s quick and easy—ready in 5 minutes. It warms you up and is easy to digest, making it great for a solo lunch, too.Recipe background:My kids never really liked rice porridge or zosui (Japanese rice soup) when they were little, so whenever they got sick, I always made udon. Egg drop style is always a hit with kids! I make it ankake-style so it stays warm longer.By the way, my kids prefer their udon simmered until soft and flavorful!
