Ingredients

250g udon noodles300g

2 tbsp toasted sesame oil250ml

1 brown onion, sliced1kg

1/4 head white cabbage, shredded1 head

10 shiitake mushrooms, sliced125g

4 spring onions, sliced1 bunch

4 tbsp mirin150ml

2 tbsp soy sauce150ml

1 tbsp caster sugar1kg

1 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce150ml

Method

Boil some water in a large saucepan. Add 250ml cold water and the udon noodles. (As they are so thick, adding cold water helps them to cook a little bit slower so the middle cooks through). If using frozen or fresh noodles, cook for 2 mins or until al dente; dried will take longer, about 5-6 mins. Drain and leave in the colander.
Heat 1 tbsp of the oil, add the onion and cabbage and sauté for 5 mins until softened. Add the mushrooms and some spring onions, and sauté for 1 more min. Pour in the remaining sesame oil and the noodles. If using cold noodles, let them heat through before adding the ingredients for the sauce – otherwise tip in straight away and keep stir-frying until sticky and piping hot. Sprinkle with the remaining spring onions.
