Beef Udon Stir-Fry (20 Minutes ONLY!)

Beef Udon Stir-Fry (20 Minutes ONLY!)

Back with another Udon recipe, and this time we are making less than 20 minutes Izakaya Style Beef Udon Stir-Fry.

You will not believe how easy it is to make this buttery, savory, Beef Udon Stir-fry.

This Udon recipe is packed with umami flavor, and you will get addicted to making it every single week.

Don’t believe me? Make this Beef Udon Stir-fry for your friends, family, or date night, and I promise they will be so impressed. 

Beef Udon Stir-Fry (20 Minutes ONLY!)

One of my go-to recipes in university was Beef Udon Stir-Fry.

I love how simple it is to make a restaurant-quality styled dinner at home at an affordable price.

Once my husband and I moved out, we started making Beef Udon Stir-Fry for dates nights.

With just a nice glass of ice-cold beer, paired with Izakaya Style Beef Udon Stir-Fry, we got ourselves a delicious, filling date night ready in less than 20 minutes and less than $20! 

add sauce into the noodles

There are many cuts of beef that you can use to make Beef Udon Stir-Fry.

I am using hot pot thinly sliced beef short ribs today.

Beef short ribs have a beautiful marbling, which helps the beef become super tender when cooked.

You can find many thinly sliced beef options at most Asian grocery stores. If not, you can also freeze the meat overnight, and using a sharp knife, thinly slice up the meat. 

Ingredient list

I prefer to use Frozen Udon when making Izakaya Style Beef Udon Stir-fry.

Frozen Udon is fresher than vacuum-sealed udon; therefore, it can absorb more of the sauce and not break as easily.

You can easily find Frozen Udon in the Asian Freezer section near potstickers.

Pour hot water all over the udon before cooking to separate the udon. This step will cut down the cooking time and prevent the udon from becoming soggy.

If you can only access vacuum-sealed udon, microwave for 30 seconds to help separate the udon before adding it to the sauce.

    About Me
    Hi! I am Tiffy and I am a HUGE foodie. I love to cook, I love to eat, and I love sharing what I love with the world.
    I was born in Taiwan, a country with some of the best street food in the world. When I think back to my childhood, I remember all the fantastic restaurants my dad brought me to when I was young. You see, my family is also huge foodies; we use to wander around night markets every weekend, skip the last period in class to try out new restaurants, and every summer, we would travel around Taiwan exploring all the new “must try” dishes around the country.
