Description

Pan-fried udon noodles tossed with
garlicky rapini and a savory sauce.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 6 tbsp water
  • 3 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 lbs (454 g) rapini
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 0.5 tsp ground black pepper
  • 15 oz (425 g) package Udon noodles
  • Toasted sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Whisk together water, oyster sauce, and brown sugar in a small bowl. Set aside.
  2. Add sesame oil to a large wok or nonstick skillet over medium heat. When hot, add rapini stems and cook for 2 minutes. Add remaining rapini and cook for a few more minutes. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
  3. Add about half the liquid to the skillet, season with black pepper, and toss to combine.
  4. Add noodles to the skillet and increase heat to high. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes. Add remaining liquid and cook for a few more minutes, or until the liquid cooks down and noodles are sticky and coated in sauce.
  5. Toss and serve immediately, garnished with sesame seeds.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, lightly toast the sesame seeds before garnishing.
  • If rapini is unavailable, substitute with broccoli or bok choy.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in a pan or microwave.
