Ingredients
Scale
- 200g thinly sliced beef (ribeye or sirloin)
- 200g cooked udon noodles
- 1/2 onion, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup corn kernels

- 1 tablespoon mirin
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix together all sauce ingredients and set aside.
- Heat a cast iron skillet or heavy pan over medium-high heat until very hot. Add a little oil to prevent sticking.
- Place butter in the center of the skillet and immediately add sliced onions, beef, and corn around it. Season beef with salt and generous black pepper.
- Let the beef sear without stirring for 1-2 minutes to get a nice crust.
- Add cooked udon noodles and pour the sauce evenly over everything.
- Stir and toss everything together until beef is cooked through and the sauce is well distributed.
- Top with green onions and serve sizzling hot straight from the pan.
Notes
- Use frozen or fresh udon noodles; make sure they’re pre-cooked and loosened before adding.
- Swap beef for chicken, tofu, or shrimp if preferred.
- Use a hot plate or cast iron skillet for authentic presentation and sizzling effect.
