72g
2 tbsp soy sauce
30g
1 tbsp ginger root

50g
2 cups rice noodles
460g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Pork Fillets:
- Trim any excess fat from the pork fillets.
- Cut the pork fillets into thin slices or bite-sized pieces.
2. Marinate the Pork:
- In a mixing bowl, combine 1/3 cup mirin, 1/3 cup vinegar, and 2 tbsp soy sauce.
- Add the finely grated ginger root (1 tbsp) to the mixture.
- Place the pork slices into the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated.
- Cover the bowl and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. For best results, marinate for 1-2 hours.
3. Cook the Udon Noodles:
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
- Add the udon noodles and cook according to the package instructions, typically about 8-10 minutes.
- Once cooked, drain the noodles and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
4. Cook the Pork:
- Heat a large pan or wok over medium-high heat.
- Add the marinated pork slices to the pan, discarding any excess marinade.
- Stir-fry the pork for about 5-7 minutes, or until fully cooked and slightly caramelized. The pork should be tender and juicy.
5. Combine and Serve:
- Add the sliced scallions (1 cup) to the pan with the cooked pork, stirring to incorporate.
- Toss in the cooked udon noodles and stir well until everything is evenly mixed and heated through, about 2-3 minutes.

- Garnish with additional scallions and sesame seeds if desired.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Pork with Udon Noodles!

Tips:

- Marinate the pork for at least 30 minutes.: Allowing the pork fillets to marinate in the mirin, vinegar, soy sauce, and ginger mix will enhance their flavor and tenderness.

- Use fresh ginger root.: Fresh ginger root adds a more robust and aromatic flavor compared to powdered ginger, elevating the overall taste of the dish.

- Cook the noodles al dente.: To prevent the udon noodles from becoming too soft and mushy, cook them just until they are tender yet still firm to the bite.

- Prepare all ingredients before cooking.: Having everything ready before you start cooking ensures a smooth cooking process without any delays or interruptions.

- Garnish with fresh scallions.: Adding fresh, finely chopped scallions at the end provides a burst of color and a fresh, crisp contrast to the cooked noodles and pork.

With its harmonious blend of flavors and textures, pork with udon noodles is a meal that is both comforting and satisfying. The tender pork fillets, the hearty udon noodles, and the fragrant soy-ginger sauce create a wonderful culinary experience that requires minimal effort but delivers maximum taste. Enjoy this delightful dish with friends and family, and savor the taste of a well-crafted homemade meal.
