10-Minute Abura Udon for Busy Weeknights (Soupless Udon Recipe)

Glossy sauce clinging to every strand of chewy udon. That first bite releasing umami bombs. These soupless udon noodles deliver great comfort in just 10 minutes. For a printable version of this recipe visit my website. Just google Abura Udon's base statue to find me. This recipe starts with a glossy flavor pack sauce. For each portion you will need half tablespoon of water, half tablespoon of oyster sauce, half tablespoon of soy sauce, half tablespoon of toasted sesame oil, half a clove of grated garlic, half teaspoon of rice vinegar, quarter teaspoon of sugar, half teaspoon of lard, eighth teaspoon of chicken bouillon powder and eighth teaspoon of dashi granules. Once you've given it a quick mix, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and pop it in the microwave for one minute at 600 watts. That's about medium power. Could you do this on the stove top? Sure, but I'm just keeping things efficient. Now if you're making one portion you can actually make the sauce directly in a heatproof serving bowl. I'm making two portions so I'm halving the mixture here. Next place your perfectly drained still hot udon noodles right on top of the sauce. Now for the toppings, I'm starting with a generous layer of katsuobushi or bonito flakes, then some finely chopped green onions, a few slices of kamaboko fish cake and some nori seaweed strips. Finally, I like to place a beautiful pasteurized egg yolk right in the center. Mix everything together until the sauce coats every noodle strand, giving you the gorgeous glossy finish that makes abura udon so resistible. And here's a beautiful thing about this dish, it's completely customizable. Want some tang? Add a splash of extra rice vinegar, craving heat? Drizzle on some chili oil. You can even play around with the toppings. Want even more delicious recipes? Grab my free cookbook from the link in the description.
