Ingredients
MAIN
- 2 packs udon noodles (total 400g), fresh
- 4 slices rindless short cut bacon (chopped into thumbnail size pieces) (*see note above), 120g
- 1 cup aged Kimchi (chopped into thumbnail size pieces)
- 50 g onion thinly sliced
- 30 g green onion thinly sliced
- Some cooking oil (I used rice bran oil)
SAUCE (MIX THESE IN A BOWL)
- 1 Tbsp Korean chili flakes (gochugaru)
- 1/2 Tbsp Korean chilli paste (gochujang)
- 1 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp honey
- 1 Tbsp raw sugar
- 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!)
- 2 eggs (soft boiled or pan-fried)
- Few sprinkles ground black pepper
- 1 Tbsp toasted sesame seeds
- 1 Tbsp green onion (thinly sliced)
- Few strips roasted seasoned seaweed
Instructions
- 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.)
- 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.
- Add the onion and Kimchi and cook until they are wilted (about 1 to 2 mins). Add the sauce and mix them well.
- Add the udon noodles and mix them with the rest of the ingredients. Add the green onions and stir lightly.
- Serve the noodles on a plate and garnish with the egg, ground black pepper, more green onions, sesame seeds, and seaweed strips.
