Bulgogi Pork Udon Noodles (15 Minutes)
Bulgogi Pork Udon: This Korean classic is more than just marinated grilled meat (although the caramelized, savory goodness is definitely a perk!)
Ingredients
- 200 gr pork, minced
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp dark soy sauce
- brown sugar, to taste
- 2 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp garlic, minced
- 1 tsp chili oil
- 1 tsp black paper
- 2 packages, fresh udon noodles
- 4 cups water
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 cup assorted vegetables (carrots, bell peppers) chopped into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tbsp water
- Sesame seed for garnish
- sliced green onion for garnish
Instructions
- First, the marinade: Soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger (don't forget!), and a touch of gochujang if you're feeling fiery. Toss your thinly sliced pork in it and let it marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes (overnight is ideal).
- While that chills, boil your udon noodles according to the package. Rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking.
- Time for the star! Crank up the heat and add the marinated pork (and any leftover marinade) to the pan. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring often, until browned and cooked through.
- Heat oil in a pan and soften some onions. Add chopped veggies like broccoli or peppers and cook until tender-crisp.
- Now the fun part! Combine the cooked udon, veggies, and pork in a bowl. Toss gently and add a splash of water or broth if it feels dry.
- Almost there! Plate your Bulgogi Pork Udon Noodles and get ready to garnish. Sprinkle with sesame seeds, green onions for color, and a drizzle of sesame oil for that finishing touch.
- Dig in! Enjoy this delicious fusion of Korean and Japanese flavors. Grab your chopsticks (or a fork, no worries) and savor every bite!
