📝 Instructions

8 steps

1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the udon noodles and cook according to the package instructions until just tender. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.

2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and ginger and stir-fry for about 1 minute until fragrant.

3. Add the thinly sliced beef to the saucepan and cook until browned on all sides, about 3-4 minutes.

4. Stir in the soy sauce, mirin, and sugar, and cook for another 2 minutes until the beef is well coated with the sauce.

5. Pour the beef stock into the saucepan and bring to a simmer. Add the sliced shiitake mushrooms and julienned carrot. Simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

6. Add the cooked udon noodles and spinach leaves to the broth, stirring gently to combine and heat through.

7. Taste the broth and adjust seasoning if necessary. Divide the udon and broth among serving bowls.

8. Garnish each bowl with sliced spring onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds before serving.
