Cooking Instructions
- 1
Cut the cabbage and carrot into bite-sized pieces for kids. Rinse the bean sprouts and remove the roots if you like.
- 2
Heat a skillet, add the ground meat and sake (or water), and cook until the meat changes color. (No oil needed for a lighter, kid-friendly meal!)
- 3
Add the cabbage, carrot, and bean sprouts. Stir-fry over medium heat until the vegetables are tender.
- 4
Quickly rinse the udon noodles under water, drain lightly, and add them to the skillet. (This helps separate the noodles and cooks them faster.)
- 5
Cover and steam until the noodles are heated through. Sprinkle with soy sauce and bonito flakes, mix well, and it's ready! For adults, add mayonnaise or sauce to taste.
