  • 1/2 tsp minced garlic 
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar (optional) – add this if your Kimchi is not aged enough or if you want extra tanginess

GARNISH (THESE ARE OPTIONAL, BUT THEY CERTAINLY ENHANCE THE FLAVOR!)

Instructions

  1. Boil the udon noodles per manufacturer’s instructions. Drain the water. Set aside. (Ideally, step 1 and step 2 should start at the same time so that you use the fresh, warm and not sticky noodles.)
  2. Heat a pan/skillet on medium-high heat and once heated add some cooking oil and spread it thinly. Add the bacon and cook for 2 to 3 mins. Stir occasionally.
  3. Add the onion and Kimchi and cook until they are wilted (about 1 to 2 mins). Add the sauce and mix them well.
  4. Add the udon noodles and mix them with the rest of the ingredients. Add the green onions and stir lightly.
  5. Serve the noodles on a plate and garnish with the egg, ground black pepper, more green onions, sesame seeds, and seaweed strips.

Notes

  • *1 Tbsp = 15 ml, 1 Cup = 250 ml
