Cheesy Kimchi Udon Noodles Recipes

KIMCHI UDON NOODLE STIR-FRY

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook udon in boiling water, stirring occasionally, until noodles are tender yet firm to the bite, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain.
• Mix honey, soy sauce, sriracha sauce, and rice vinegar in a bowl. Set sauce aside.
• Place bacon in a large pan and cook over high heat until fat is rendered but bacon is not yet crispy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add kimchi and garlic; cook for 1 minute. Add the sauce, udon noodles, and sesame oil; stir well. Remove from heat and transfer noodles to a plate. Top with scallions.

CHEESY KIMCHI NOODLES

Steps:

• Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil over high. Add the noodles and cook according to the package instructions until tender but still springy, about 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a colander and rinse in cold water until cool, then toss with a splash of canola oil to prevent the noodles from sticking together. Set cooked noodles aside.
• Meanwhile, prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk the Sriracha, soy sauce, sesame oil and Shaoxing wine; set aside.
• Set a medium nonstick skillet over high heat. Add ½ tablespoon canola oil and, once shimmering, crack in the eggs. Reduce the heat to medium and cook until the whites are done and the edges are browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
• In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon canola oil over medium-high. Add the scallions, kimchi, garlic and sesame seeds, and cook for 1 minute until just softened, stirring frequently. Add the noodles and sauce, and toss to combine for 1 minute. Stir in the grated cheese until it melts. Turn off the heat.
• Transfer the noodles to serving plates, top with the fried eggs and garnish with extra sesame seeds and scallions. Serve immediately.

KIMCHI UDON WITH SCALLIONS

Steps:

• Heat 2 Tbsp. butter in a large skillet over medium-high. Add chopped kimchi and gochujang and cook, stirring occasionally, until kimchi is softened and lightly caramelized, about 4 minutes. Add broth and kimchi juice and bring to a simmer. Cook until liquid is slightly reduced, about 3 minutes.
• Meanwhile, boil noodles according to package directions.
• Using tongs, transfer noodles to skillet and add remaining 3 Tbsp. butter; cook, tossing often, until sauce coats noodles, about 2 minutes. Season with salt if needed. Divide among bowls and top with egg yolks, scallions, and sesame seeds.

KIMCHI SESAME UDON NOODLES

Steps:

• Put the noodles in a sieve over the sink and pour over a kettle of boiling water. Toss to separate, then leave to drain.
• Heat 1 tbsp of the sesame oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Add the onion and ginger, and fry for 5 mins until softened slightly. Add the broccoli, kimchi and radish, and continue to fry for 5 mins. Stir in the drained noodles, spring onions and soy sauce.
• Meanwhile, put the remaining ½ tbsp oil in a small frying pan and fry the eggs for 3 mins, or until cooked to your liking. Serve the noodles in bowls with an egg on top, and sprinkle with the sesame seeds and some chilli flakes, if you like.
