Seasoned with Mentsuyu: Easy Stir-Fried Udon

Using mentsuyu and sake makes the stir-fried udon smooth and not sticky. On June 9, 2009, this became my 24th featured recipe. Thank you!
The origin of this recipe: At our house, we always season with mentsuyu instead of soy sauce or other sauces. It's really delicious!
Cooking Instructions
- 1
Make a small cut in the udon noodle package and microwave at 600W for 1 minute and 30 seconds.
- 2
Using a knife, cut the noodles in half through the package to make them shorter and easier to eat. Recommended for small children!
- 3
In a frying pan, cook the pork (the photo shows fish sausage instead of meat) until done, then add your choice of vegetables and stir-fry until tender.
- 4
Place the udon on top of the vegetables, add the sake, and stir-fry while loosening the noodles.
- 5
Once the udon and vegetables are mixed, add the mentsuyu. Taste and add a little more mentsuyu if it's too light.
- 6
Add soy sauce around the edge of the pan and let it caramelize slightly (10-15 seconds). When you smell a roasted aroma, lightly toss and let it caramelize again.
- 7
Serve on a plate and top with bonito flakes, pickled ginger, and seaweed if desired.

Thai-Style Stir-Fried Udon Noodles Thai-Style Stir-Fried Udon Noodles
I made some stir fried udon when I was visiting friends in Bangkok. They were out of soy sauce so I tried using Thai fish sauce instead. Although people in Bangkok use limes, lemon is a fine substitute.Now I'm very fond of stir fried udon with nam pla.Microwave the udon noodles briefly to warm them up, and untangle them in advance. If you are using frozen noodles, rinse them in water to get rid of any surface stickiness.If you add some fresh coriander, it will taste more like Thai cooking!I recommend adding cherry tomatoes. For 1 serving. Recipe by Wanko mama cookpad.japan -

I was going to make yuzu pepper pasta when the hubby said "I want udon!" This was the recipe I came up with then.After you add the noodles to the pan you need to work quickly, so have all the seasoning ingredients pre-measured and ready to go. If you don't like spicy food, adjust the amount of yuzu pepper to your taste. Stir fry the meat until it's crispy for the best flavor. Use whatever vegetables you have. Even tomatoes and eggplants are surprisingly good in this. For 2 servings. Recipe by Harunbouya cookpad.japan
