About This Recipe

Instructions

1. 1

   Boil some water in a large saucepan.

2. 2

   Add 250ml cold water and the udon noodles.

3. 3

   (As they are so thick, adding cold water helps them to cook a little bit slower so the middle cooks through).

4. 4

   If using frozen or fresh noodles, cook for 2 mins or until al dente; dried will take longer, about 5-6 mins.

5. 5

   Drain and leave in the colander.

6. 6

   Heat 1 tbsp of the oil, add the onion and cabbage and sauté for 5 mins until softened.

7. 7

   Add the mushrooms and some spring onions, and sauté for 1 more min.

8. 8

   Pour in the remaining sesame oil and the noodles.

9. 9

   If using cold noodles, let them heat through before adding the ingredients for the sauce – otherwise tip in straight away and keep stir-frying until sticky and piping hot.

10. 10

    Sprinkle with the remaining spring onions.
