Ingredients

1 lb udon frozen kind recommended
½ lb pork belly sliced or sub with chicken, shrimp, pork or steak
1 cup cabbage thinly sliced
¾ cup mushrooms sliced
½ cup carrots julienned
½ onion julienned
1 green onion finely chopped
2 cloves garlic minced
1 tablespoon vegetable oil or any neutral oil

Sauce:

1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
1 tablespoon regular soy sauce
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1 tablespoon mirin
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
2 teaspoon white granulated sugar

Instructions

In a small bowl, combine sauce ingredients as listed above. Set aside.
In a large bowl, soak udon noodles in hot boiling water for 30-60 seconds or until loosened. Strain immediately.
In a large skillet or large wok, heat vegetable oil or any neutral oil over medium-high heat.
Fry pork belly until golden brown and most of the fat has rendered out, about 2-3 minutes. Remove pork belly from frying pan and set aside.
Reduce to medium heat. Stir fry garlic and onions until translucent, about 30 seconds. Add cabbage, mushrooms, and carrots and fry until softened, a few minutes. Feel free to add ¼ cup of water to help cook the veggies and allow the water to fully evaporate before moving onto the next step.
Toss in noodles, sauce, and pork belly. Mix until noodles are coated in sauce. Remove off heat.
Garnish with green onions and enjoy!
