Instructions
Make the stir fry sauce
In a bowl or glass jar with a lid add all the ingredients for the sauce. Shake it well and keep it aside.
For Udon noodles stir fry
Cut veggies into juliennes. Roughly chop the firm part of bokchoy and the leaves.
If using packed udon noodles cakes, pour hot water on the cakes and let it rest for about 10 minutes. The noodles can be separated easily. They tend to break easily, so be careful and gentle while separating.
In a large wok or skillet heat oil. Add ground pork and 2 tablespoons of the prepared sauce. Mix and cook pork for 4-5 minutes on medium-high heat, breaking any big lump of meat.
Add minced garlic and sliced onion. Cook further for about one minute.
Add cabbage and carrots. Toss on high heat for 2-3 minutes. The veggies need to be tender yet have a crunch to them.
Add drained Udon noodles and bok choy to the wok. Pour over all the stir-fry sauce. Toss everything on high heat to coat the noodles well with the sauce.
