Beef Yaki Udon

If you’re one of the many, many people who’ve made and loved the udon noodle side dish from my cookbook, More Real-Life Kosher Cooking, you likely aren’t surprised to hear that I love udon noodles and will always order them when they’re on the menu. Yaki udon is Japan’s answer to lo mein — meat, vegetables, and udon noodles stir-fried together in a delicious sauce!

Prepare the Beef Yaki Udon

  1. Heat oil in a large, deep frying pan or wok. Sprinkle salt and pepper over steak slices and add them to the pan. Sear on high for one to two minutes per side. Work in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.

  2. Add the onion, scallions, salt, garlic, and ginger. Continue to cook, stirring often, for two to three minutes, until softened slightly.

  3. Add the broccoli, followed by the carrot, then the zucchini, and finally the baby corn, stir-frying for about a minute after each addition.

  4. Add the prepared sauce and cooked noodles. Continue to cook for another

    minute, stirring to bring everything together.

Notes:
Plan Ahead: This dish is best enjoyed the day it’s made. The noodles can be prepared two to three days ahead of time. If necessary, you can make this one to two days ahead of time and reheat, loosely covered, until warmed through.
