    This is a weeknight stir fry udon based on japanese spicy beef that comes together easily and quickly in only 10 minutes. It's spicy, savory, and irresistably delicious. You'll never believe it only has 8 ingredients. #udon #weeknight #stirfry

  • Heat up a touch of oil in a large non-stick pan or wok over high heat. Once the oil is smoking, add the beef and stir fry until browned and cooked through. Remove from the pan.
  • Add a little more oil to the wok and let it smoke up again, then add the noodles. Cook, tossing, until slightly crispy and warmed through, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the sauce and toss making sure all the noodles are coated. Add the beef back in as well as the sprouts and green onions. Toss until the sprouts are cooked to your liking, then remove from the wok and enjoy!
