6cupsof chopped vegetables I used shredded cabbage red peppers, carrots, mushrooms, spinach, broccoli and onion
3garlic cloves minced you choose the size of the cloves depending on how much garlic you like
1tablespoonof grated ginger or use ginger paste which is what I use most of the time
1teaspoonrice wine vinegar
½cupsoy sauce
½cupmirin
½tablespoonsambal or other chili paste and you can use more or less of this depending on how spicy you like it
two packages of pre cookedvacuum sealed udon easy to find at the grocery store in the Asian food aisle
Vegetable oil for cooking
Little drizzle of sesame oil or olive oil if you don't have sesame
Instructions
In a very large sauté pan cook you ground chicken until crisp. Mash while cooking well with a wooden spoon so the pieces are small. Remove from the pan. Add some vegetable oil, maybe a tablespoon or so depending on how much vegetable you are using. Add veggies to the pan and sauté over medium heat until the vegetables are tender. Add the garlic and the ginger and continue to cook another minute or so.
Meanwhile boil a pot of water, when water boils, remove from heat and add the udon. Let the noodles sit for one minute - that's it, if you leave them longer they will get gummy. Stir gently to break up noodles, then drain in a colander and drizzle with a little bit of sesame oil (use olive oil if you don't have sesame).
Add the ground chicken back to the vegetables and mix together. Add the noodles, soy, mirin, rice vinegar and sambal, and toss together until everything is mixed together and the noodles meat and veggies are draped in glorious sauce.
Notes
Serve with chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds.
