Loosen the udon noodles by soaking in hot water before cooking.
Add cooking oil to a pan, then add the white part of the green onion and the pork. Stir-fry over high heat until the outside is cooked, infusing the oil with scallion flavor.
Once the meat is mostly cooked, add gochujang, oyster sauce, sugar, minced garlic, gochugaru, and black pepper. Stir-fry quickly over medium heat to prevent the seasoning from burning.
Add the prepared onion, green part of the green onion, and Cheongyang chili pepper. Stir-fry until the vegetables are slightly wilted.
Add 1 cup of water and the udon noodles, then stir-fry while stirring to coat the noodles evenly with the sauce and let it reduce slightly.
When the liquid has reduced and the noodles are well-coated, turn off the heat and finish with a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
Cut the vegetables and meat into easy-to-eat pieces, and prepare the udon noodles.
First stir-fry the green onion and pork, then add the spicy pork seasoning and stir-fry together.
Add the vegetables, water, and udon noodles, reduce until slightly thickened, and finish with sesame seeds.
Cooking tips 💡
If using fatty cuts like pork belly, reduce the amount of cooking oil in the pan.
If you don't have oyster sauce, you can substitute 1 tablespoon of soy sauce for a similar savory depth.
If you can't soak the udon noodles in hot water beforehand, you can add the water, cover with a lid, and let the steam loosen the noodles for convenience.
