Spicy Stir-Fried Udon Noodles

The first time I had sauteed udon noodles, I fell in love. Most try udon in soups, but the flavors from a hot pan and excellent sauces make this spicy stir-fried version so much better. I mixed together my concoction of Asian flavors and produced this lovely dish that is great for family, friends, and guests. I promise you they will love it more than your generic Asian takeout.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

Marinade:

  • ½ cup soy sauce

  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce

  • 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce

  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar

  • 1 ½ tablespoons Sriracha sauce

  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar

  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil

  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder

  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

  • 3 boneless pork loin chops, cut into bite-sized pieces

  • 2 (7 ounce) packages fresh udon noodles

  • 2 cups chopped broccoli florets

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil, or more as needed

  • ½ onion, finely chopped

  • 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped, or more to taste

  • 3 tablespoons bean sprouts, or to taste (Optional)

  • 3 tablespoons julienned carrot, or to taste (Optional)

  • 2 tablespoons diced green onion, or to taste (Optional)

Directions

  1. Mix soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, brown sugar, Sriracha, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic powder, and pepper together in a small bowl. Combine 1/2 of the marinade with pork in a bowl. Refrigerate, 4 hours to overnight. Reserve remaining marinade for noodles.

  2. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook udon in boiling water for 2 minutes; add broccoli to blanch slightly and continue to boil until noodles loosen, about 1 minute more. Strain and set aside.

  3. Heat olive oil in a wok or deep pan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; stir-fry until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add pork, bean sprouts, and carrot; stir-fry until pork is no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Add drained udon noodles and broccoli. Pour in remaining marinade and toss noodles to absorb flavors, 2 to 3 minutes. Add green onion; toss lightly, 1 to 2 minutes.

Cook's Note:

Also great to use chicken or beef in this recipe. Add extra chile sauce to individual portions if you like it extra spicy like me!
