Preparation
Boil the noodles & wilt the spinach
- Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil.
- Add the noodles; stir gently to separate.
- Boil, 6 to 8 min., until al dente.
- Place the spinach in a strainer.
- Drain the noodles over the spinach and toss with a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking.
Make the toasted sesame-ginger
- Meanwhile, heat a large, dry pan on medium-high.
- Add the sesame seeds and toast, stirring often, 1 to 2 min., until lightly browned and fragrant.
- Transfer to a bowl and add the ginger (roughly chop before adding) and a pinch of the spices; stir well. Reserve the pan.
Start the yaki udon
- In the same pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high.
- Add the beef; season with S&P. Cook, breaking up the meat, 2 to 3 min., until partially cooked.
- Add the cabbage and onions.
- Increase the heat to high and cook, stirring often, 4 to 6 min., until the vegetables have browned and the beef* is cooked through; season with the remaining spices.
Finish the yaki udon
- Reduce the pan of yaki udon to medium.
- Add the soy sauce, noodles, spinach and ¼ cup water (double for 4 portions). Cook, stirring often, 30 sec. to 1 min., until combined.
Plate your dish
- Divide the yaki udon between your bowls.
