Ingredients
- 18 ounces udon noodles , fresh or frozen
- 1 pound ground pork
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- ¼ cup minced peeled ginger
- 6 cups roughly chopped cabbage
- 4 ounces Shiitake mushrooms , thickly sliced
- 5 green onions , white and green parts thinly sliced
- ⅓ cup soy sauce
- ⅓ cup seasoned rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Instructions
- Place the udon in a large bowl and cover them with enough boiling water to thaw frozen udon or warm fresh udon. Drain the noodles and set aside.
- Add the pork to a large skillet and bring to medium-high heat. Season with red pepper flakes and kosher salt. Use a spatula to break the pork into large chunks and cook undisturbed until the pork is sizzling and browning on the bottom, about 4-5 minutes. Stir the ginger into the pork and cook for another 4 minutes or until the sausage is well browned. Transfer the pork to a bowl with a slotted spoon to reserve the rendered fat in the skillet.
- Add the cabbage and mushrooms with half of the green onion to the same skillet on medium-high. Cook until the cabbage caramelizes and softens with the mushrooms, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the noodles and toss with the pork. Whisk the soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil in a small bowl or jar and pour over the noodles. Toss to coat well and cook for 1-2 more minutes for the saucy flavors to absorb into the noodles and pork. Sprinkle with the rest of the green onion and the toasted sesame seeds and enjoy.

Notes
- If using regular rice vinegar instead of seasoned rice vinegar, add 2 teaspoons sugar to the sauce mixture.
