Cooking Instructions
- 1
Cut the vegetables into bite-sized pieces. Cut the pork into bite-sized pieces as well.
- 2
Since the pork will release some fat, use a small amount of oil and start by stir-frying the pork. Once the color changes, add the vegetables and stir-fry together.
- 3
When the vegetables have softened, add the udon noodles, water, shirodashi, and soy sauce. Stir-fry over medium heat until the liquid is gone.
- 4
If you prefer a lighter flavor, use 1 1/2 tablespoons of soy sauce; for a stronger flavor, use 2 tablespoons. Adjust to your taste.
- 5
I recommend adding plenty of bonito flakes on top.
- 6
You can use any vegetables you have, and you can substitute the pork with beef or leave out the meat entirely if you like!

By the way, this is the shirodashi I used this time.
