Ingredients

  • Marinade:
  • A half cup of rich soy sauce
  • Two spoonfuls of savory oyster sauce
  • Two dollops of flavorful hoisin sauce
  • Two spoons of brown sugar for sweetness
  • One and a half spoons of zesty Sriracha sauce
  • A spoon of rice vinegar for tanginess
  • A spoon of aromatic sesame oil
  • A spoon of garlic powder for depth
  • A pinch of freshly ground black pepper for a kick
  • Three succulent boneless pork loin chops, sliced into bite-sized chunks
  • Two packs of fresh udon noodles, each weighing seven ounces
  • Two cups of broccoli florets, chopped for freshness
  • A spoonful of olive oil, or more if required
  • A half of finely chopped onion for flavor
  • Four cloves of finely chopped garlic, adjust to your taste
  • Three spoonfuls of bean sprouts if desired
  • Three spoonfuls of thinly sliced carrot, if preferred
  • Two spoonfuls of diced green onion, to your liking

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine a delightful mix of soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, brown sugar, Sriracha, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic powder, and pepper. Let the flavors mingle as you mix them together.

Step 2

Next, infuse half of this flavorful marinade into the pork in a bowl, allowing it to marinate in the fridge for at least 4 hours, or even better, overnight. Remember to save the rest of the marinade for later use with the noodles.

Step 3

As you prepare to cook, bring a generous pot of lightly salted water to a lively boil. Cook the udon noodles for a brief 2 minutes, then toss in some broccoli to blanch for just a hint of tenderness. Continue boiling until the noodles are perfectly loosened, about 1 more minute. Strain the noodles and veggies, setting them aside for the main stir-fry.

Step 4

In a wok or deep pan, warm some olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the onion and garlic until they turn beautifully translucent, which should take around 5 minutes. Add the marinated pork, along with bean sprouts and carrot, and stir-fry until the pork is cooked through, around 5 more minutes.

Step 5

Now, it's time to combine all the elements. Toss in the drained udon noodles and broccoli, ensuring they are well coated in the remaining marinade. Allow the noodles to soak up the delicious flavors for 2-3 minutes. Finish off by adding some fresh green onions and gently tossing everything together for another 1-2 minutes. Enjoy the harmonious blend of flavors and textures in this delectable dish!
