Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz udon noodles
- 8 oz beef sirloin, thinly sliced
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp mirin
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp ginger, grated
- 4 cups beef or chicken broth
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cups baby spinach
- 2 stalks scallions, sliced thinly
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
- 0.5 tsp red chili flakes (optional)
Instructions
Cook the udon noodles according to the package instructions. Drain, rinse under cold water, and set aside.
In a bowl, combine soy sauce, mirin, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Add the thinly sliced beef to the marinade and let it sit for at least 10 minutes.
In a large pot, heat the beef or chicken broth over medium heat. Stir in the sugar and bring it to a gentle simmer.
In a separate pan, heat a small amount of sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef and cook until just browned and tender, about 2-3 minutes. Remove the beef and set aside.
In the same pan, sauté the sliced mushrooms for 2 minutes until softened.
Divide the cooked udon noodles between serving bowls. Top each bowl with the sautéed mushrooms, cooked beef, and fresh baby spinach.
Ladle the hot broth over the noodles and toppings in each bowl. The heat from the broth will slightly wilt the spinach.
Garnish each bowl with sliced scallions, sesame seeds, and a sprinkle of red chili flakes if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your warm, comforting udon beef noodle bowl.
