Ingredients
  

  • 500 grams char siu thinly sliced
  • 1000 grams frozen udon noodles or sub with wonton noodles, rice noodles
  • 1 green onion finely sliced (optional garnish)
  • 2-3 cups bok choy sliced into half
  • 1 cup bean sprouts rinsed under cold water and straned

Soup:

  • 4 cups chicken broth or beef broth or vegetable broth (low sodium)
  • ½ tablespoon regular soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 teaspoon mirin
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic minced
  • 1 green onion finely sliced

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, soak frozen udon noodles in hot boiling water for 30-60 seconds until loosened. Strain immediately. Divide between serving bowls.
  • In a medium size pot, fill with the Soup ingredients as listed above. Stir, cover and bring to a boil on medium-high heat.
  • Once your soup boils, add your bok choy and bean sprouts and blanch until both ingredients are cooked, about 2 minutes for bok choy and 1 minute for bean sprouts. Remove the bok choy and bean sprouts with a slotted spoon. Divide the veggies and place them over top of your udon noodles.
  • Reheat the char siu using microwave or you can simply blanch the sliced pieces in the soup for 30-60 seconds and then place over top of noodles.
  • Lastly, divide and pour your soup into each bowl of noodles and garnish with green onions (optional). Serve hot and enjoy! If you want the soup saltier, add 1 tablespoon more of oyster sauce.
