Ingredients

For the pork & marinade (optional for a vegetarian version):

  • 200g  pork shoulder
  • 1 teaspoon cornflour
  • 1 Tbsp light soy sauce
  • Dash of dark soy sauce
  • 1 Tbsp Shaoxing wine
  • Pinch of sugar

For the rest of the dish:

  • Vegetable oil
  • A Handful of fresh shiitake mushrooms
  • Packet of Japanese-style udon noodles
  • 2 teaspoons light soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons dark soy sauce
  • Pinch of sugar
  • 120 ml chicken stock (or vegetable stock for a vegetarian version)
  • 1 or 2 Bok Choy 

Method

  1. Marinate the Pork

    • Combine the pork with cornstarch, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, and sugar. Massage the marinade into the pork until it forms a light, creamy coating. Let it sit while preparing other ingredients.
  2. Prepare the Noodles

    • Place the noodles in a bowl and pour hot water (not boiling) over them. Let them sit for up to a minute to release the packet shape. Use chopsticks or a fork to separate the strands gently. Drain immediately to avoid overcooking.
