Nutrition per serve

Ingredients

• 1pcs spring onion
• 1pcs pak choy
• 2clov garlic
• 300g lean beef mince
• 30g Korean chilli paste
• 180g udon noodles
• 10g toasted sesame seeds
• 5ml soy sauce
• 10ml vegetable oil
• 10ml sugar
• 2pcs eggs (optional)

Method

1. Step 1 — Prep ingredients
   Bring a medium saucepan of water to the boil for the noodles. Thinly slice the spring onion (see Make it yours). Trim the pak choy and separate the leaves. Crush or finely chop 2 garlic cloves. Put the garlic, beef mince and 1 tsp soy sauce in a large bowl and season with pepper. Using damp hands, combine well, then shape into 4 equal patties.
2. Step 2 — Cook patties
   Heat 2 tsp vegetable oil in a medium deep frypan over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for 3-4 mins each side until browned and cooked through. Add the chilli paste, 2 tsp sugar and 60ml (¼ cup) water and cook, turning the patties to coat, for 1 min or until well coated. Remove the patties from the pan. Reserve the chilli sauce in the pan.
3. Step 3 — Cook noodles and pak choy
   If adding the boiled eggs, bring a small saucepan of water to the boil for the eggs. Meanwhile, cook the noodles in the medium pan of boiling water for 9 mins. Add the pak choy and cook for a further 1 min or until the pak choy and noodles are tender. Drain, then rinse under cold water to prevent the noodles from sticking.
4. Step 4 — Cook eggs
   While the noodles and pak choy are cooking, cook 2 eggs in the pan of boiling water for 6 mins for soft-boiled, or 8 mins for hard-boiled. Drain, then cool in cold water.
5. Step 5 — Serve up
   Add the noodles and pak choy to the reserved chilli sauce in the pan and toss to coat. Peel and halve the eggs. Divide the noodle mixture, beef patties and egg among bowls. Scatter with the sesame seeds and spring onion and enjoy!
6. Step 6 — Make it yours
   Want to give your dish extra flair? Shred the green part of the spring onion lengthwise like we have in the photo. To make it curl up, put it in an iced water bath for 5 mins or until curly, then drain.
