Teriyaki udon

The name of the dish sounds very Japanese but I doubt if you’ll find teriyaki udon listed in the menu of Japanese restaurants. I sort of invented it last night because I wanted a low-fat meal with meat in it. You know, like making a statement that low-fat means neither meatless nor a total abstention from red meat. I bought lean pork meat a few days ago, sliced it thinly then marinated the sliced pork in teriyaki sauce overnight in the fridge. Twenty-four hours later, I used the marinated pork to make this noodle dish.

What’s that on top of the noodles? Nori. You know, the sheets of dried seaweed used for making sushi and maki. Nori comes in many varieties, some are flavored and ready-to-eat. I used kitchen shears to cut toasted nori into fine, fine strips and that’s what you see in the photo.

Serves 2 to 3.

Ingredients for teriyaki udon

100 g. of udon (dry weight)

    This is actually rather interesting seeing as the number of filipino recipe sites I’ve stumbled into thus far remain to be scarce.

    Hats off to you. [:

    parang kinain ko to last weekend.
    ang inorder ko kasi, BEEF FRIED NOODLES.
    ang pagkakaiba nga lang yung sayo pork.
    tapos yung noodles ng kinain ko pagkaluto, fry muna nila ng konti, kaya merong “dark prito edges” yung noodles.
    sa japanese restaurant pala to, tapos nilunod ko ng 20 pieces of shrimp tempura, haha.
