Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Spicy Kimchi Udon Noodle Stir-Fry.
Step 1
Start by bringing a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil.
Step 2
Once boiling, gently add the udon noodles and cook them for about 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 3
You want them to be tender yet still have a delightful bite.
Step 4
Once cooked, drain the noodles and set them aside, letting them rest while you prepare the rest of the dish.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, Sriracha sauce, and rice vinegar until well combined.
Step 6
This sweet and spicy sauce will add a wonderful depth of flavor to your stir-fry, so set it aside for now and let those flavors mingle.
Step 7
Next, grab a large pan and heat it over high heat.
Step 8
Add the chopped bacon and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, allowing the fat to render out.
Step 9
You’re looking for that perfect balance where the bacon is still tender but not yet crispy.
Step 10
The aroma will start to fill your kitchen, and trust me, it’s a good sign! Once the bacon is ready, toss in the chopped kimchi and minced garlic.
Step 11
Sauté everything together for about a minute until the garlic becomes fragrant and the kimchi starts to soften.
Step 12
This step adds a fantastic zing to your dish.
Step 13
Now, it’s time to bring it all together! Pour in your honey-soy sauce mixture, followed by the drained udon noodles and a drizzle of toasted sesame oil.
Step 14
Gently stir everything together, ensuring that the noodles are well coated and heated through.
Step 15
The colors and scents will be irresistible at this point! Finally, remove the pan from the heat and transfer your delicious stir-fry to a serving plate.
Step 16
For a fresh touch, sprinkle sliced scallions on top before serving.
