    Pork Udon Noodles with Broccoli, Carrots & Sesame Seeds
    Title
    • 10 oz Ground Pork
    • ½ lb Udon Noodles
    • 3 Tbsps Soy Glaze
    • 2 cloves Garlic
    • 1 tsp Black & White Sesame Seeds
    • ¼ tsp Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
    • 6 oz Carrots
    • 2 Scallions
    • 3 Tbsps Savory Black Bean-Chile Sauce
    • ½ lb Broccoli
    Prepare the ingredients & make the sauce
    1 Prepare the ingredients & make the sauce

    Remove the noodles from the refrigerator to bring to room temperature. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Cut off and discard the bottom 1/2 inch of the broccoli stem; cut the broccoli into small florets. Peel the carrots and thinly slice on an angle. Thinly slice the scallions, separating the white bottoms and hollow green tops. Peel and roughly chop 2 cloves of garlic. In a bowl, whisk together the black bean-chile sauce, soy glaze, and 1/3 cup of water.

    2 Cook the pork

    In a large pan (nonstick, if you have one), 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 browned and cooked through. Leaving any browned bits (or fond) in the pan, transfer to a bowl; cover with foil to keep warm.

    3 Cook the vegetables

    In the pan of reserved fond, heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the broccoli florets and sliced carrots in an even layer. Cook, without stirring, 2 to 3 minutes, or until lightly browned. Add 1/4 cup of water (carefully, as the liquid may splatter); season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 minutes, or until the vegetables are slightly softened and the water has cooked off. Add the sliced white bottoms of the scallions, chopped garlic, and as much of the red pepper flakes as you’d like, depending on how spicy you'd like the dish to be. Cook, stirring occasionally, 1 to 2 minutes, or until slightly softened.

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 noodles garnished with the sesame seeds and sliced green tops of the scallions. Enjoy!
