Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings

  • udon noodles 2 servings
  • bacon 200g
  • cabbage 1 handful
  • green onion 1 handful
  • carrot 1/4
  • onion 1/2
  • oyster sauce 10g
  • soy sauce 1 tablespoon
  • mirin 1 tablespoon
  • sugar 1 tablespoon
  • black pepper about 2 pinches
  • noodle water a little

Recipe 🍳

  1. Mix oyster sauce, soy sauce, mirin, and sugar in the specified amounts to prepare the seasoning sauce in advance.
  2. Boil the udon noodles in hot water for about 1 minute, then drain and set aside.
  3. Heat a frying pan with oil, then add sliced bacon, onion, and cabbage. Stir-fry until they are lightly cooked and slightly golden.
  4. Add the boiled udon noodles and the prepared seasoning sauce to the pan, stirring quickly so the sauce evenly coats the noodles.
  5. Add the chopped carrot and green onion, and continue stir-frying until all ingredients are tender. If the noodles stick to the pan due to the sauce, add a small amount of noodle cooking water.
  6. Finally, add about 2 pinches of black pepper and stir-fry over high heat until the sauce thickens and clings well to the noodles.
  1. Mix oyster sauce, soy sauce, mirin, and sugar to make the special seasoning sauce.
  2. Boil udon noodles for 1 minute, drain, then stir-fry bacon and vegetables in an oiled pan.
  3. Add udon noodles, seasoning sauce, carrot, green onion, and black pepper in order, and stir-fry over high heat until the sauce reduces and coats the noodles.

Cooking tips 💡

  • Since the udon noodles will be stir-fried again in the pan, boil them in boiling water for only about 1 minute to maintain their chewy texture.
  • If the noodles become dry or stick to the pan during stir-frying, add 1–2 tablespoons of noodle cooking water to keep them moist and smooth.
  • For a different twist, substitute bacon with pork belly or fresh seafood for a uniquely delicious variation of stir-fried udon.
