Ingredients needed 🛒1 servings

  • udon noodles 1 pack
  • frozen thin pork belly 300g
  • green onion 1/2 bunch
  • vegetable oil 2 tablespoons
  • sesame oil 1 tablespoon
  • light soy sauce 2 tablespoons
  • oyster sauce 1 tablespoon
  • sugar 1 tablespoon
  • chili powder 1 tablespoon
  • minced garlic 1 tablespoon
  • green part of green onion or small amount of green chili pepper
  • toasted sesame seeds a little

Recipe 🍳

  1. Before cooking, soak the udon noodles in hot water, stirring gently until they become soft and fully loosened.
  2. Place the frozen thin pork belly (300g) into a plastic bag and use your fist or hands to crush and break it into small pieces.
  3. Add half a green onion, sliced finely, on top of the crushed pork belly. Then add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, 2 tablespoons of light soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 1 tablespoon of chili powder, and 1 tablespoon of minced garlic.
  4. Mix thoroughly inside the bag by hand, ensuring the pork, green onion, and seasonings are evenly distributed.
  5. Pour the seasoned pork mixture directly into a heated pan and stir-fry over high heat until the pork becomes crispy and sizzling like fried bits.
  6. Once the pork is fully cooked and rich pork fat has rendered out, add the pre-soaked udon noodles.
  7. Stir continuously to mix the noodles and seasoned pork evenly, cooking until everything is well combined and slightly dry.
  8. Finish by topping with the green parts of green onions or thinly sliced green chili peppers, and sprinkle toasted sesame seeds on top.
  1. Soak udon noodles in hot water beforehand, and crush frozen thin pork belly into small pieces in a plastic bag.
  2. Add green onions and all seasonings (soy sauce, oyster sauce, chili powder, etc.) to the bag and mix well by hand.
  3. Sauté the pork mixture in a pan until crispy and fatty, then add udon noodles and stir-fry together to finish.

Cooking tips 💡

  • You can substitute udon noodles with other preferred noodles such as thin wheat noodles or kalguksu for equally delicious results.
  • When stir-frying the meat and seasonings, avoid high heat that could burn the chili powder—stir constantly until enough pork fat has rendered out.
  • Make sure to cook the pork thoroughly and until crispy before adding noodles, so the savory pork fat coats the noodles and enhances the flavor.
