Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, soak frozen udon noodles in hot boiling water just until loosened, about 30-60 seconds. Strain immediately in a colander and set aside.
  2. In a small bowl combine black pepper sauce ingredients as listed above. Set aside.
  3. Heat vegetable oil in a large pan on medium heat. Fry minced garlic for 10 seconds or until fragrant.
  4. Next add in thawed thinly sliced beef and stir fry until 60% cooked. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  5. Increase to medium-high heat, add udon noodles with noodle sauce. Mix well and cook until sauce has slightly thickened and isn’t so runny. Toss in greens and cook until they’re softened.
  6. Toss in the beef and stir fry for another minute until beef is cooked through. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • Freeze your beef exposed to the cold air for 45-60 minutes until the exterior hardens a bit. With a sharp knife, slice your beef against the grain into thin pieces (under ¼-inch thick).
