Instructions

Get Started
1
  • Heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan on high heat.
  • Once hot, fry the beef mince and mushrooms, 5-6 mins.
  • Break up the mince as it cooks, then drain the fat. Season with salt and pepper. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and utensils after handling raw mince. Cook so there's no pink in the middle.
  • Meanwhile, peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
Fry Veg
2
  • Add the spring greens and garlic to the frying pan.
  • Stir-fry, 1-2 mins.
Simmer Sauce
3
  • Next, stir in the gochujang, soy, water and honey (see pantry for both). Simmer, 2-3 mins. 
  • Add the udon noodles to the pan. Toss to coat, using a fork to gently separate them. Simmer until piping hot, 1-2 mins.
  • Add a splash of water if the sauce is too thick.
Dinner's Ready!

  • Share the noodles between your bowls.
  • Sprinkle with sesame seeds to finish.
  • Enjoy!

Review summary

Updated on Feb 2026
  • Flavour: Many enjoyed the dish's taste, though some found it could use more gochujang for a stronger, spicier flavour.
  • Ease of prep: Reviewers praised the quick and simple preparation, with minimal washing up required.
  • Suggestions: Consider adding more vegetables, particularly colourful ones like tenderstem broccoli, to enhance the visual appeal and texture.
  • Portions: Some felt the noodle portion was too small; consider increasing the amount of udon for a more satisfying meal.
  • Texture: A few customers preferred thinner noodles or found the udon too chewy; offering noodle options could improve satisfaction.
