Yaki Udon
Description
This recipe begins by mixing a sauce composed of soy sauce, oyster sauce, mirin, brown sugar, and rice vinegar for layered umami and sweetness. Udon noodles are soaked briefly in hot water to loosen, then cooled to prevent overcooking and sticking. In a pan, olive oil is heated to cook a mix of sliced mushrooms, broccoli, mangetout, and diced spring onions until tender-crisp.
The noodles are combined with the cooked vegetables, and the prepared sauce is poured over, allowing the flavors to meld with the noodles. The dish is meant to be served soon after cooking to maintain texture and freshness, optionally garnished with more spring onions and sesame seeds.
This preparation suits a quick vegetarian-friendly meal or side, and spices like chili flakes or sauce can be added for heat. Including meat alters cooking times and is optional depending on preference.
