Description
A delicious fusion of cuisines, pan-fried udon noodles are served with flavorful garlic and rapini, or broccoli rabe.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 tablespoons water
- 3 tablespoons oyster sauce (use a vegetarian oyster sauce to keep the recipe vegetarian)
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 1 large bunch rapini (about a pound, ends trimmed, stems cut into small pieces)
- 3 garlic cloves (minced)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 15-ounce package Udon noodles (prepared according to package directions)
- Toasted sesame seeds as garnish
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together the water, oyster sauce, and brown sugar. Set aside.
- Add the sesame oil to a large wok or nonstick skillet over medium heat. When hot, add the rapini stems and cook for about 2 minutes. Add the remaining rapini and cook for a few additional minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
- Add about half the liquid to the skillet, season with the black pepper, and toss to combine.
- Add the noodles to the skillet and increase the heat to high. Cook, stirring occasionally for about 5 minutes. Add the remaining liquid to the skillet and cook for a few more minutes, or until the liquid cooks down and the noodles become sticky and coated in the sauce.
- Toss and serve immediately garnished with sesame seeds.
