Main Ingredients- 100g Duck meat (cut into bite-sized pieces)
- 1 pack Udon noodles (for a chewy texture)
- 50g Onion (finely chopped)
- 30g Garlic (thinly sliced to enhance aroma)
- 50g King oyster mushroom (finely chopped)
- 2g Chili flakes (for a hint of spice)
- Katsuobushi (bonito flakes), for garnish and flavor
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare all your ingredients. Dice the duck meat into small, bite-sized pieces, about 1cm. Finely chop the fresh onion and king oyster mushroom. Thinly slice the garlic; this will help release a richer aroma when sautéed in olive oil.
Step 2
It’s crucial to achieve the perfect chewy texture for your udon noodles! Bring a pot of water to a rolling boil and cook the udon noodles for exactly 1 minute. Be mindful of the cooking time, as overcooking can make the noodles mushy and affect their texture.
Step 3
Once the udon noodles are blanched, immediately drain them in a colander to remove all excess hot water. This step prevents the noodles from clumping or becoming soggy when stir-fried and ensures they absorb the sauce well.
Step 4
Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the prepared duck meat and sliced garlic. Season with smoked salt and black pepper. Stir-fry until the duck meat turns a nice golden brown. The aroma of garlic infused in the oil will make it even more delicious.
Step 5
When the duck meat is browned, add the finely chopped onion, king oyster mushroom, and chili flakes to the pan. Continue to stir-fry until the vegetables soften and their flavors meld with the duck. The sweetness of the vegetables and the mild spice from the chili flakes will complement the duck beautifully.
Step 6
Once the onions become translucent, pour in the teriyaki sauce (2 Tbsp). Let the sauce simmer and reduce slightly, coating the ingredients. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly to prevent burning, until the sauce thickens.
Step 7
Now it’s time to combine the noodles with the flavorful sauce. Add the blanched and drained udon noodles to the pan with the saucy ingredients. Stir-fry for another 1 to 2 minutes, ensuring the noodles are evenly coated with the sauce. They will become even more appetizing as they absorb the flavors.
Step 8
Finally, plate your delicious ‘Duck-dong!’ attractively. Garnish with a sprinkle of katsuobushi for an extra layer of umami and visual appeal. Your flavorful Duck Aglio e Olio Style Stir-fried Udon is now ready to be enjoyed!
