From the Test Kitchen

Hearty, delightfully chewy udon noodles are a comfort food staple perfect for pairing with umami-rich sauces, like the combo of smooth peanut butter spread, soy sauce, sambal oelek, and more that we’re using in this dish. For a final kick, we’re topping it all with a sprinkle of togarashi—a vibrant Japanese blend that highlights two kinds of paprika, sesame seeds, and dried orange peel.

step-by-step

instructions

Cook Along

1 Prepare the ingredients

Remove the noodles from the refrigerator to bring to room temperature. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Cut the mushrooms into bite-sized pieces. Peel the carrots and thinly slice on an angle. Cut off and discard the root ends of the bok choy; roughly chop.

2 Make the sauce

In a bowl, whisk together the peanut butter spread, vinegar, honey, soy sauce, 1/4 cup of warm water, and as much of the sambal oelek as you’d like, depending on how spicy you’d like the dish to be.

3 Cook the beef

In a large pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the beef; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently and breaking the meat apart with a spoon, 5 to 7 minutes, or until browned and cooked through. Leaving any browned bits (or fond) in the pan, transfer to a plate.

4 Start the stir-fry

In the pan of reserved fond, heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the mushroom pieces and sliced carrots in an even layer. Cook, without stirring, 3 to 4 minutes, or until lightly browned. Add the sautéed aromatics (carefully, as the liquid may splatter); season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened. Add the chopped bok choy; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 minutes, or until the bok choy leaves are wilted.

5 Finish the stir-fry & serve your dish

Using your hands, carefully separate the noodles. To the pan, add the cooked beef, noodles, and sauce (carefully, as the liquid may splatter). Cook, stirring constantly, 1 to 2 minutes, or until thoroughly combined and the noodles are heated through. Turn off the heat. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. Serve the finished stir-fry garnished with the togarashi. Enjoy!
