Ingredients
- 1.10 lb udon noodles or fresh udon or wonton noodles, frozen
- ½ lb char siu thinly sliced
- 1 green onion finely chopped for garnishing
- 2 cups baby bok choy washed & sliced into half
- 1 cup bean sprout washed & strained
Broth
- 4 cups chicken broth low-sodium (or sub with beef broth or mushroom broth)
- 2 tablespoon oyster sauce
- ½ tablespoon soy sauce regular
- 1 teaspoon mirin
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 green onion finely chopped
Instructions
- In a large bowl, soak frozen udon noodles in hot boiling water for 30 seconds until loosened. Strain immediately. Divide between two serving bowls.
- In a medium size pot, add the broth ingredients as listed above. Mix, cover and bring to a boil on medium-high heat. Then reduce to medium heat.
- Add the bok choy and bean sprouts into the broth and blanch until both ingredients are softened and remove them using a slotted spoon or tongs, about 1-3 minutes. Divide the bok choy and bean sprouts between the noodle bowls.
- Reheat the leftover sliced char siu in the microwave for 2-3 minutes or simply blanch the sliced pieces in the hot broth for 30-60 seconds until hot and place equal portions on top of the noodle bowls.
- Lastly, pour equal portions of the broth into each noodle bowl. Garnish with green onions and enjoy!
