Servings: 4
Ingredients
- ½ lb ground pork
- 8 oz udon or other favorite noodle
- 3 tbsp canola oil
- 8 oz shiitake mushrooms cleaned and sliced
- ½ bunch collard greens de-ribbed and thinly sliced
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tbsp gochujang optional, for a more fiery version
- 1 c kimchi chopped
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Brown ground pork in a large heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat until fully cooked, about 10 minutes. Meanwhile bring a pot of water to a boil.
- Once the pork is cooked, transfer to a plate and discard fat. Add canola oil and shiitakes to the skillet. Season with salt and reduce heat to medium and cook for 5 minutes until softened.
- Once the water is boiling, add noodles and cook according to package directions. Drain and rinse noodles under cold water to stop the cooking process.
- Add collards to shiitakes and cook until collards are just tender, about 3-4 minutes. Turn off heat and return pork to pan. Add soy sauce, maple syrup, gochujang (if using) kimchi and any of its juice, and noodles. Mix well. Taste and add more soy sauce or maple syrup as desired. Top with sesame seeds.
Notes
To make vegetarian/vegan:
Omit ground pork and double the amount of shiitake mushrooms. Be sure to use vegetarian kimchi
