★ Udon noodles (These usually come in sealed packets. We used two packets and it made enough for 2-4 helpings.)
★ faux ground beef (or tofu)
★ chopped and mixed veggies fresh or frozen (sugar snap peas, julienne carrots, broccoli florets, yellow sweet pepper strips, water chestnuts)
★ garlic paste
★ ginger paste
★ Aji-Mirin sauce (rice wine)
★ Tonkatsu Sauce
★ Soy Sauce
1. Boil your udon noodles (7/8 minutes or until cooked)
2. Prep your veggies into a blend (how many veggies you add is up to you)
3. If you’re using tofu, cut it into small squares
4. Prepare your wok or deep pan with oil
5. Fry veggie and faux meat/tofu blend for 3-5 minutes
6. Add 1/2 teaspoon of ginger paste
7. Add 1/2 teaspoon garlic paste
8. Fry together for about another minute or two
9. Add your drained udon noodles
10. Add 2 tables spoons of Mirin
11. And add at least 2 tablespoons of Tonkatsu sauce, if not more. (This is to taste.)
12. Serve with soy-sauce (to taste)
13. Enjoy!

25 Jun 2009 at 5:51 amThis is really close to the way my family does it… except we add soy sauce in the wok and have tonkatsu sauce at the table (which everyone adds). I think this might be because tonkatsu sauce is more expensive? I sometimes add cabbage and/or beansprouts. Nom nom nom.

Thank you for the recipe!! I have got to try this… one question though, the “packages” you talk about… are you talking about those tiny things you can get at the Asian supermarkets or larger ones? because honestly… I could probably personally eat three of those tiny packages at once. >_>

29 Jan 2009 at 4:27 pmI think I’ll have to try this! I also think you should post Japanese recipes more often. I always want to try to cook Japanese but for some reason feel intimidated by it.
