CHICKEN YAKI UDON



Chicken Yaki Udon image

This delicious stir-fry is similar to yakisoba, but is made with thick, white udon noodles and tossed with a much simpler sauce. Often used in soups, udon noodles are also delicious fried--the texture is just awesome because they are chewy. Try to find frozen or fresh udon noodles. Dried udon noodles will work, too, but you'll lose some of the signature texture.

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 ounces frozen udon noodles
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ pound boneless chicken breasts, cut into thin strips
½ onion, sliced
½ red bell pepper, sliced
½ cup shredded cabbage
½ cup carrot matchsticks
1 teaspoon minced garlic
2 tablespoons soy sauce, or more to taste
1 tablespoon gochujang (Korean chile paste)
1 tablespoon ketchup
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook udon in boiling water, stirring occasionally, until noodles are tender yet firm to the bite, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain noodles and rinse with cold water.
  • Meanwhile, warm olive oil in large saucepan or wok over medium heat. Add chicken and saute until cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Add onion, bell pepper, cabbage, carrots, and garlic. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, allowing vegetables to maintain most of their crispness.
  • Pour soy sauce over vegetables and chicken; saute 1 to 2 minutes more. Add udon noodles and toss well. Mix in gojuchang and ketchup, thoroughly combining to mix all the flavors. Season with salt and pepper.

YAKI UDON

These thick wheat noodles with mushrooms and cabbage are made for slurping - a lovely low-fat, low-calorie vegetarian supper

Provided by Jennifer Joyce

Categories     Dinner, Lunch, Main course, Supper

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 10

250g dried udon noodles (400g frozen or fresh)
2 tbsp sesame oil
1 onion, thickly sliced
¼ head white cabbage, roughly sliced
10 shiitake mushrooms
4 spring onions, finely sliced
4 tbsp mirin
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp caster sugar
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce (or vegetarian alternative)

Steps:

  • Boil some water in a large saucepan. Add 250ml cold water and the udon noodles. (As they are so thick, adding cold water helps them to cook a little bit slower so the middle cooks through). If using frozen or fresh noodles, cook for 2 mins or until al dente; dried will take longer, about 5-6 mins. Drain and leave in the colander.
  • Heat 1 tbsp of the oil, add the onion and cabbage and sauté for 5 mins until softened. Add the mushrooms and some spring onions, and sauté for 1 more min. Pour in the remaining sesame oil and the noodles. If using cold noodles, let them heat through before adding the ingredients for the sauce - otherwise tip in straight away and keep stir-frying until sticky and piping hot. Sprinkle with the remaining spring onions.
