Cooking Steps

  1. 1

    Cut the green onion diagonally into 1cm wide slices. Cut the pork slices into bite-sized pieces if they are too large.

    Advice : Microwaving the frozen udon according to the package instructions beforehand makes the noodles easier to loosen and helps maintain their chewy texture during stir-frying.

    Ingredients
    Green Onion 1/2 piece
    Pork Slices 150g
  2. 2

    Heat sesame oil in a frying pan over medium heat and sauté the pork. Once the meat changes color, add the napa cabbage kimchi and sauté for another minute.

    Advice : Sautéing the kimchi first mellows out its acidity and enhances its fragrance and richness.

    Ingredients
    Sesame Oil 1/2 tbsp
    Pork Slices 150g
    Napa Cabbage Kimchi 100g
  3. 3

    Add the thawed udon and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until well combined with the other ingredients.

    Advice : When you heat the udon in the microwave, adding it while it still has a little moisture helps it blend better with the ingredients.

    Ingredients
    Frozen Udon 2 portions
  4. 4

    Add sugar, sake, soy sauce, and miso in that order. Stir-fry quickly until the flavors are well distributed.

    Advice : If you don't have cooking sake, you can substitute it with mirin. In that case, reduce the amount of sugar slightly to keep the flavors balanced.

    Ingredients
    Sugar 1/2 tsp
    Cooking Sake 1 tbsp
    Soy Sauce 1 tbsp
    Miso Paste 1 tsp
  5. 5

    Add the green onion, stir-fry briefly, and turn off the heat. Plate and serve.

    Advice : Topping with shredded nori, toasted sesame seeds, or a raw egg yolk adds a luxurious touch and makes the flavor milder.

    Ingredients
    Green Onion 1/2 piece
