Ingredients
2 packets (total 13 oz / 369 g) pre-cooked udon noodles
2½ cups (approx. 300 g) chopped stir-fry vegetables (e.g., mushrooms, bok choy, onions)
2 stalks scallions, cut into 2-inch (5 cm) pieces
½ lb (approx. 227 g) ground meat (chicken, beef, turkey, pork, shrimp)
1 tablespoon (15 ml) avocado oil
2½ tablespoons (37.5 ml) dark soy sauce
2 tablespoons (30 ml) oyster sauce
1 tablespoon (15 ml) mirin
2 teaspoons (10 g) brown sugar
½ teaspoon (2.5 ml) rice wine vinegar
Instructions
1-First, prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together 2½ tablespoons dark soy sauce, 2 tablespoons oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon mirin, 2 teaspoons brown sugar, and ½ teaspoon rice wine vinegar. Set it aside so the flavors can mingle—it’s that easy!
2-Next, cook the noodles: Remove 2 packets of pre-cooked udon noodles from their packaging and add them to boiling water. Stir gently for 1-2 minutes to separate them, then rinse under cold water and drain well. If you’re not using them right away, toss with a little oil to keep them from sticking.
3-Now, for the fun part: Heat a large pan or wok over high heat and add 1 tablespoon avocado oil. Stir-fry ½ lb ground meat until almost cooked, then add 2½ cups chopped stir-fry vegetables and continue until everything is softened and the meat is fully done.
4-Finally, combine it all: Add the cooked noodles, your prepared sauce, and 2 stalks of scallions to the pan. Stir-fry vigorously for about 3 minutes until everything is coated and heated through. Serve immediately for the best taste—it’s that simple!
