Treat your ingredients with care...

  • Udon noodles — Cook the noodles according to the package instructions, but make sure not to overcook them as they should retain a slightly chewy texture.
  • Beef — Thinly slice the beef against the grain to ensure tenderness.
  • Chili paste — Adjust the amount of chili paste according to your spice preference. Add more for a spicier dish or reduce the amount for a milder flavor.
  • Sesame oil — Use toasted sesame oil for a richer and nuttier flavor.

Tips & Tricks

  • For a vegetarian version, substitute the beef with tofu or mushrooms.
  • Customize the vegetable selection based on personal preference or seasonal availability.
  • Add a squeeze of fresh lime juice before serving for a tangy twist.
  • Garnish with sesame seeds for added texture and flavor.
  • Serve the Stamina Udon with a side of pickled ginger to complement the dish's flavors.

Serving advice

Serve the Stamina Udon hot in individual bowls, garnished with sliced green onions. Accompany it with a side of pickled ginger and soy sauce for dipping.

Presentation advice
