Ingredients needed 🛒1 servings

  • 1 udon noodle block
  • 200g thinly sliced pork belly (daepae samgyeopsal)
  • 2 handfuls mung bean sprouts (sukju namul)
  • 1 Cheongyang chili pepper
  • 1/2 stalk green onion
  • 1 tbsp gochujang
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1.5 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp gochugaru
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • a pinch of black pepper
  • 1/2 cup water (if needed)
  • a pinch of sesame seeds

Recipe 🍳

  1. Before cooking, pour warm water over the udon noodles to loosen them naturally.
  2. Make the special sauce by mixing 1 tbsp gochujang, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1.5 tbsp oyster sauce, 1 tbsp sugar, 1 tbsp gochugaru, 1 tbsp minced garlic, 1 tbsp sesame oil, and a pinch of black pepper.
  3. In a dry pan without oil, add 200g of thinly sliced pork belly and cook until golden brown, rendering the fat, then cut into bite-sized pieces.
  4. Once the meat is fully cooked, pile 2 handfuls of mung bean sprouts on top and pour all the prepared sauce over it.
  5. Stir-fry lightly with the meat until the bean sprouts just start to wilt.
  6. Add the loosened udon noodles and sliced Cheongyang chili pepper, then quickly stir-fry until the sauce coats the noodles evenly. If it's too dry, add a splash of water.
  7. Finish with green onion, transfer to a plate, and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
  1. Make the sauce and soak the udon noodles in warm water to loosen.
  2. Crisp the thinly sliced pork belly in a pan, then add bean sprouts and sauce and stir-fry.
  3. Add the udon noodles and Cheongyang chili pepper and stir-fry once more until the sauce is absorbed.

Cooking tips 💡

  • The key is to not add any cooking oil at the start, as the pork belly releases enough fat.
  • Roughly cut the Cheongyang chili pepper with scissors instead of a knife and cutting board to reduce dishes and add spicy flavor.
