Ingredients- 1 serving Udon noodles (fresh or frozen)
- 1 can Tuna
- Scallions (or green onions)
- Shredded seaweed (Kizami Nori)
- Sesame seeds
Sauce- 2 Tbsp Mayonnaise
- 2 Tbsp Tsuyu (or Soy Sauce)
- 2 Tbsp Mayonnaise
- 2 Tbsp Tsuyu (or Soy Sauce)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare the special sauce that’s the star of this dish. In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise and 2 tablespoons of tsuyu. Whisk them together until smooth and well incorporated. Tsuyu is a Japanese dipping sauce that adds a wonderful umami flavor, but if you don’t have it, regular soy sauce can be used as a substitute. For an even richer flavor, consider adding a tiny splash of mirin if you have it on hand.
Step 2
Next, finely chop the scallions. Wash them thoroughly and pat them dry before slicing them into small pieces. The fresh, slightly pungent flavor of the scallions will provide a delightful contrast to the rich sauce and tuna. If you prefer, you can also use the white parts of green onions, minced very finely.
Step 3
If you are using frozen udon noodles, cook them in boiling water for about 2 minutes, or according to the package instructions. Be careful not to overcook them; the noodles should be tender but still have a pleasant chew. For fresh or dried udon, cook according to their respective directions until al dente.
Step 4
Once the udon noodles are cooked, drain them very well using a colander. It’s important to shake off as much water as possible so that the sauce adheres nicely to the noodles and doesn’t become diluted. Place the drained noodles into your serving bowl.
Step 5
Now, let’s assemble our Tuna Bibim Udon! Generously drizzle the prepared sauce over the drained udon noodles. Then, top with the drained tuna, followed by the chopped scallions. Finally, sprinkle a good amount of shredded seaweed and sesame seeds over everything. Gently toss to combine, or enjoy it as is, layering the flavors with each bite. Enjoy your delicious and quick Tuna Mayo Bibim Udon!
