with Ground Pork

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 black bean sauce, soy glaze, and sesame oil that we’re using in this dish. For a final kick, we’re stirring in fresh lime zest and juice.

step-by-step

instructions

Cook Along

1 Prepare the ingredients & make the sauce

Remove the noodles from the refrigerator to bring to room temperature. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Peel the carrots; thinly slice on an angle. Thinly slice the scallions, separating the white bottoms and hollow green tops. Using a zester or the small side of a box grater, finely grate the lime to get 1 teaspoon. Halve the lime crosswise; squeeze the juice into a bowl. Cut off and discard the stem of the pepper. Halve lengthwise; remove the ribs and seeds, then thinly slice crosswise. Thoroughly wash your hands immediately after handling. In a separate bowl, whisk together the soy glaze, sesame oil, black bean sauce, and 1/4 cup of warm water.

2 Cook the pork

In a large pot, heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the pork; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently and breaking the meat apart with a spoon, 7 to 9 minutes, or until the pork is browned and cooked through. Leaving any browned bits (or fond) in the pot, transfer to a bowl.

3 Cook the vegetables

In the pot of reserved fond, heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the sliced pepper and sliced carrots in an even layer. Cook, without stirring, 2 to 3 minutes, or until lightly browned. Add the sliced white bottoms of the scallions. Cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 minutes, or until softened. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired.

4 Finish the noodles & serve your dish

Using your hands, carefully separate the noodles. To the pot, add the noodles, cooked pork, and sauce (carefully, as the liquid may splatter). Cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 minutes, or until thoroughly combined and the noodles are heated through. Turn off the heat. Stir in the lime zest and lime juice. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. Serve the finished noodles garnished with the sliced green tops of the scallions and sesame seeds. Enjoy!
