Turmeric Fried Udon - Burmese Inspired
A fusion between Japanese yaki udon and Burmese stir-fry, turmeric yaki udon is spicy, warming, and hearty.
Servings: 2
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp oil
- 2 tsp turmeric
- 4 small shallots thinly sliced
- 3 Thai chilli peppers (red or green) chopped (optional)
- 2 big handfuls green beans ends removed
- half small flat cabbage thinly sliced
- 2 big handfuls beansprouts
- 2 servings frozen udon
- 1 tbsp vegan oyster sauce
- 1-2 tbsp soy sauce
- chopped fresh herbs like cilantro or mint optional
Instructions
- In a large pan or wok, fry shallots with oil over medium heat for 1-3 minutes. Once shallots smell fragrant and have started to caramelize at the edges, add turmeric powder and (optional) chilli peppers. Stir to bloom the turmeric.
- Add long green beans and cabbage and continue stir-frying. Cook until cabbage has reduced and softened, around 5 minutes. Covering the veggies with a lid for a few minutes will help the cabbage soften.Meanwhile, heat enough water in a separate pot to cook the udon with.
- Add the beansprouts to the pan of veggies and stir-fry over medium-high heat for 30 seconds to 1 minute.
- Once the pot of water is hot or boiling, add frozen udon. Stir the frozen udon in the hot water to soften and untangle, around 30 seconds to 1 minute. Drain the udon and add to the pan of veggies.
- Add oyster sauce and soy sauce, then stir fry until udon is evenly coated with a glossy sauce, around 1 minute. At this point it may be easier to continue cooking with a pair of chopsticks.
- Optionally garnish with fresh herbs. Serve and enjoy!
