Flavor-Packed Spicy Udon Noodles

Ingredients

• Marinade:
• ½ cup soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
• 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 ½ tablespoons Sriracha sauce
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 3 boneless pork loin chops, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 2 (7 ounce) packages fresh udon noodles
• 2 cups chopped broccoli florets
• 1 tablespoon olive oil, or more as needed
• ½ onion, finely chopped
• 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped, or more to taste
• 3 tablespoons bean sprouts, or to taste (Optional)
• 3 tablespoons julienned carrot, or to taste (Optional)
• 2 tablespoons diced green onion, or to taste (Optional)

Step 1

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, brown sugar, Sriracha, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic powder, and pepper. Take half of this sauce and toss it with the pork, then pop it in the fridge to marinate for at least 4 hours, or overnight if you have the time. Keep the rest of the sauce for later.

Step 2

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the udon noodles for about 2 minutes, then add the broccoli to the pot and let it cook for another minute. Drain everything and set it aside.

Step 3

Heat some olive oil in a wok or a large pan over medium heat. Toss in the onion and garlic and cook until they’re soft and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Add the marinated pork along with the bean sprouts and shredded carrot, stirring everything until the pork is cooked through, around 5 more minutes.

Step 4

Now, add the drained noodles and broccoli back into the pan. Pour in the remaining sauce and give everything a good toss so the noodles soak up all those flavors. Let it cook together for 2 to 3 minutes. Finally, sprinkle in the chopped green onion, give it a light toss, and it’s ready to serve.
