Teriyaki Udon With Beef Or Chicken Bowl Recipes

TERIYAKI CHICKEN YAKI UDON (STIR-FRIED UDON NOODLES)

Steps:

• Wash and peel (optional) the carrot, and cut them into thin slivers and set aside
• Wash and cut the cabbage into half, and then cut each half into half again so you get 1/4 of a cabbage. Use only 1/4 of the cabbage. Cut out the core of the cabbage and cut them into thin slices and set aside
• Cut off the ends of the onion and then peel it. Cut the onion in half and then place the onion flat side down on the cutting board and cut them into thin slices and set aside
• Peel and finely chop the garlic. Set aside 1 tablespoon for the sauce and set the rest of it a side for the stir fry.
• Grate the ginger and set aside later for the sauce
• Hand shred, or thinly slice the leftover chicken and set aside
• Place a frozen brick of udon noodles into a colander and run it under cold water to melt the ice. Once the noodles are soft and pliable (it should take about 1-2 minutes), they are done. Set it aside
• Set a small pot on the stove on medium-low heat
• Add a bit of oil to it. Once the oil is hot, add in the garlic and ginger and toast it until it is brown (approximately 1-2 minutes)
• Once the garlic and ginger has browned, add in the soy sauce, water and honey and let it simmer for 1-2 minutes
• While the sauce is simmering, mix corn starch and cold water together to make a corn starch slurry and set it aside.
• Once the sauce has simmered for a few minutes, stir the sauce quickly with a utensil while adding in the corn starch slurry slowly. Keep stirring until the sauce thickens.
• Once the sauce thickens, set it aside for later.
• Use a large frying pan and set the stove to medium to medium high heat.
• Add 2 tablespoons of oil to the frying pan and wait for it to get hot.
• Once the oil is hot and shimmering, add in the onions and cook them until they are soft (approximately 1-2 minutes)
• Then add in the carrots and cabbage and stir fry it with the onions. Try to leave it on the pan for 20-30 seconds without touching it every minute to give the cabbage a bit of a char. Cook everything for approximately 3-4 minutes or until the vegetables are soft.
• Add in the garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes - we put the garlic last so it doesn't burn.
• Add in the chicken and mix everything together and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
• Add in the noodles and cook for 1 minute
• Add in the sauce and cook everything for 1 minute
• Once everything is all cooked, plate it and enjoy!

BEEF TERIYAKI NOODLE BOWL

Steps:

• Combine garlic and 1/2 teaspoon sugar in a zip-top bag. Mix in 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sake, and ginger paste. Reserve 1/4 cup sauce. Add beef in the remaining sauce. Let the meat marinate for 30 minutes.
• Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rapid boil. Cook egg noodles at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, 7 to 9 minutes. Drain and set aside.
• Transfer the remaining marinade mixture to a saucepan. Add the remaining sugar and 1/4 cup water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Combine remaining water and cornstarch. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the cornstarch mixture. Return the pan to the heat and cook, stirring frequently, until the sauce is thickened. Reduce the heat to the lowest setting and keep the sauce warm.
• Heat avocado oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the beef and stir-fry for 1 minute. Turn the heat to medium and cook until the meat is cooked through and no longer pink, about 5 more minutes. Pour in the warmed sauce. Mix to combine.
• Assemble bowl with noodles and beef mixture. Serve immediately.

TERIYAKI UDON WITH BEEF OR CHICKEN BOWL

Steps:

• Combine chicken or steak with 2/3 cup teriyaki sauce and marinate for 3 hours in the refrigerator. If using flank steak, shallowly score one side with a knife to allow a bit more flavor to penetrate the meat.
• Remove meat from the marinade and heat a grill pan or skillet with a medium-high flame. Once heated, add either the chicken or beef and grill/cook until cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees (for the chicken) or to desired level of doneness (for the beef). Once done, remove from the heat to a plate and then tent with foil. Set aside.
• Heat the oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet until the oil is shimmering. Add the carrots and broccoli and stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes. Add the celery and onion and stir-fry for another 2 minutes. Next, add the water chestnuts, garlic and ginger. Stir-fry until the veggies are crisp tender.
• Meanwhile, put on a large pot of water to boil and cook the udon noodles according to the package's instructions (al dente). Reserve 1/2 cup of the cooking water and then drain and rinse the udon under cold water to remove gumminess.
• Add the noodles to the hot skillet along with the remaining 2/3 cup teriyaki sauce and 1/2 cup of the reserved pasta water. Reduce heat to medium and start tossing the udon, vegetables and sauce together.
• Simmer for a minute. If you're serving flank steak, take this moment to slice it thinly. You can either add the flank steak/chicken directly to the pan and toss or else dish up the udon and top with grilled steak or chicken. Serve in bowls and garnish with green onions.
