Ingredients

  • 1/2 lb Beef slices
  • 1 pack Udon
  • 1/4 Onion, sliced
  • 1 Egg
  • 1/2 stalk Green onions, sliced

Sauce

  • 1 tsp Dashi powder
  • 1/2 tbsp Sugar
  • 2 tbsp Soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp Cooking wine
  • 1 tbsp Mirin
  • 1/3 cup Water

Instructions

  • Cook udon: Bring a pot of water to a boil and add your packaged udon. If adding an onsen egg:
    Boil 3 parts water in a pot.
    Once it reaches a boil, turn off the heat and add 1 part cold water to bring the temperature down.
    Gently place your eggs into the pot, cover with a lid, and let them sit for 10 minutes.
    Carefully transfer the eggs into cold water before peeling or cracking into a bowl.
  • Prepare the ingredients: While the udon and egg is cooking, continue with preparing other ingredients. Slice your onions thinly and set aside. If using hot pot beef rolls (highly recommended!), leave it out at room temperature to soften. 
  • Make sauce: In a bowl, combine dashi powder, sugar, soy sauce, cooking wine, mirin and water. 
  • Cook onions and beef: Heat a little oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add beef slices and stir fry for 2 minutes. 
  • Add sauce and simmer: Pour in mixed sauce into pan and toss around beef slices so it is fully coated. Let it simmer in the sauce for 2 minutes at low heat. 
  • Assemble and serve: Serve udon in a bowl and spoon beef over the noodles. Top with onsen egg and drizzle extra sauce over bowl. Garnish with green onions. Enjoy!
