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

Recipe 🍳
- Before cooking, soak the udon noodles in hot water, stirring gently until they become soft and fully loosened.
- 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.
- 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.
- Mix thoroughly inside the bag by hand, ensuring the pork, green onion, and seasonings are evenly distributed.
- 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.
- Once the pork is fully cooked and rich pork fat has rendered out, add the pre-soaked udon noodles.
- Stir continuously to mix the noodles and seasoned pork evenly, cooking until everything is well combined and slightly dry.
- Finish by topping with the green parts of green onions or thinly sliced green chili peppers, and sprinkle toasted sesame seeds on top.
- Soak udon noodles in hot water beforehand, and crush frozen thin pork belly into small pieces in a plastic bag.
- Add green onions and all seasonings (soy sauce, oyster sauce, chili powder, etc.) to the bag and mix well by hand.
- 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.
