Hits the spot!
This Sesame Sausage Udon Stir Fry is surprisingly and incredibly tasty! I mean you really cannot go wrong with a glossy sweet sesame soy sauce over chewy udon, bouncy sausage, eggs, and Yu Choy to lighten it up!
The key to this sesame udon noodle recipe is using maple flavoured pork breakfast sausages. It is an unusual ingredient to use in Asian cuisine as we do not typically add breakfast sausages to our noodles. But when you pair this meaty sweet savoury sausage with a sesame soy sauce, it is a combination that HITS THE SPOT!
If you can't find maple flavoured breakfast sausage, opt for the normal breakfast sausages.
I would not recommend using Italian or spiced sausages. This will throw off the flavour profile.
Easy to make!
My udon stir fry recipe is very easy and simple to make at home! You don’t need too many ingredients for this dish and I tried keeping the sauce simpler. You may have most of the ingredients in your pantry. All in all, this dish comes together in less than 30 minutes – making it a great dish for a quick weeknight meal!
About Udon Noodles
Now I have many favourite noodles but there is something so special and delicious about udon noodles. They have the great ability of staying chewy yet also absorbing the surrounding flavours making it a fantastic noodle to work with. I love using udon noodles whenever I am making food ahead for the week because they manage to stay chewy and they do not get soggy like other noodles.
What does udon taste like?
It has a very mild flavour and the texture is very chewy and thick.
Is Udon vegetarian?
Yes they are generally vegan as they do not contain eggs.
Is Udon Japanese or Korean?
It’s popular in both Japan and Korea but originates from Japan.
Can I use non-frozen udon cakes?
Yes you may! Just don't blanch them for too long or they will get soggy
