Easy Beef Udon Noodles & Shiitake Mushrooms
Total yumminess! These Beef Udon Noodles with lovely shiitake mushrooms are the perfect combination.
I don’t know why but I am so so hungry at the moment – maybe it’s the weather.
I always seem to be a little more hungry in the winter months?
This is not conducive to my aim to drop some pounds!
Flavoursome beef with udon noodles
I have a desire for starchy, warm, flavoursome food ….. aaarrrggg.
So today I just decided I would try and drown out this incessant need for comfort food.
I did and it was delicious !
Luckily my Bundle came over for dinner (phew). I fear I may have woofed the lot if I was on my own….. I KNOW – not good
Look at these lovely ingredients.
So fresh, so good!
So how do you cook Beef & Mushroom Udon Noodles?
This recipe is quick, very easy and extremely tasty! All cooked on the hob!
No need to turn the oven on!
And it’s a total meal no need for any accompaniments 🙂 but you could if you liked
So what exactly are Udon noodles?
Well firstly they are a Japanese favorite.
They are plump noodles and they have a distinct chewy texture.
The traditional way to knead the dough to make udon noodles requires your feet! Really, it’s a genius idea.
You use your feet and your body weight to do the kneading instead of tiring out your arm muscles.
Don’t worry, you place the dough in a plastic bag, and cover that with a towel and then you knead the dough with your tootsies.
These fresh noodles are made using just flour, sea salt and water, but they can be fiddly and difficult to make just right. So luckily you can also buy dried udon noodles.
If you choose to use dried or freshly made noodles, udon noodles can be served hot or cold.
These Asian noodles are often prepared and served in hot broth or stir fried
(When cold, they accompany grated vegetables along with a dipping sauce).
I hope you make and enjoy this Noodle dish and if you do please comment below!
I so love to hear you comments, really I do!
What does Beef Udon Stir Fry taste like?
I love this dish and it sort of has a sweet and savoury taste made with soy sauces, sugar and Japanese mirin. Loaded with juicy tender beef steak, crisp vegetables and thick chewy udon noodles.
It’s quick and light, fills those bellies and there’s something about noodles that’s comfotting and satisfying
I found that this dish is almost ageless to both kids and adults alike love it
