This dish is so satisfying and nutritious, it’s perfect even as a diet meal. Discover this special udon recipe that balances both health and exquisite taste!
Main Ingredients- Eomuk noodles, 1 serving (approx. 150g)
- Thinly sliced beef for bulgogi, 1/2 cup (approx. 50g)
- 1/4 onion, thinly sliced
- 5 oyster mushrooms, trim ends and tear into bite-sized pieces
- 1/4 green garlic stems, finely chopped (for garnish)
- Water, 500ml
- Store-bought mentsuyu (noodle dipping sauce), 50ml (adjust to taste)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare the delicious udon broth. In a pot, combine 500ml of fresh water and 50ml of store-bought mentsuyu, mixing well. Bring it to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce to low heat and let it gently cook.
Step 2
Now, it’s time to prepare the star of the udon: the noodles. Carefully add the eomuk noodles to a pot of boiling water. Use chopsticks to gently separate them so they don’t stick together while cooking for about 1-2 minutes. Once cooked, drain the noodles and rinse them under cold water. Drain them well in a colander. This process will make the noodles delightfully chewy and firm.
Step 3
Next, we’ll sauté the beef and onions that will go into the udon. Heat a pan over medium heat. Add the 1/2 cup of thinly sliced bulgogi beef and the 1/4 sliced onion. Sauté them together until the beef is browned and the onions are softened and fragrant. Stir-frying until the onions become translucent and release their sweetness is recommended for a richer flavor.
Step 4
Carefully add the pre-cooked eomuk noodles to the prepared udon broth. Once the broth returns to a simmer, add a few of the torn oyster mushrooms. Continue to simmer for a little longer until the mushrooms are tender. This will further enhance the depth of the broth’s flavor.
Step 5
We’re almost done! In a serving bowl, place the sautéed beef and onions. Gently pour the hot udon broth and eomuk noodles over them. Finally, sprinkle the finely chopped green garlic stems on top for a beautiful presentation and added flavor. This beef eomuk noodle udon, made conveniently with eomuk noodles and topped with hearty beef, is packed with both taste and nutrition. Its mild and comforting flavor will warm you from the inside out, making it the perfect dish for a cold day.
