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

Method
 

  1. 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).
  2. While that chills, boil your udon noodles according to the package. Rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking.
  3. 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.
  4. Heat oil in a pan and soften some onions. Add chopped veggies like broccoli or peppers and cook until tender-crisp.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. Dig in! Enjoy this delicious fusion of Korean and Japanese flavors. Grab your chopsticks (or a fork, no worries) and savor every bite!
