What is Sesame Sausage Udon Stir-Fry?
Sesame Sausage Udon Stir-Fry is a unique Asian-fusion noodle dish featuring udon noodles, breakfast sausage, eggs, green stir fried in a sweet savory sauce. It's absolutely delicious and not common in Asian cuisine. This dish was created because I had all of these ingredients sitting in the fridge and I wanted to use them up. It turned into a delicious concoction of flavors and textures. It's a great noodle stir fry dish for dinner or lunch and will satisfy the whole family!
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 salty sausage with a sweet sesame soy sauce, it really 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.
