Cooking Steps

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).
  • Cut the lime into wedges.
2
  • Add the spring greens and garlic to the frying pan.
  • Stir-fry, 1-2 mins.
3
  • Next, stir in the gochujang, soy, water and honey (see pantry for both). Simmer, 1-2 mins. 
  • Add the udon noodles to the pan. Toss to coat, using a fork to gently separate them. Simmer until piping hot, 2-3 mins.
  • Add a splash of water if the sauce is too thick.
  • Add in a good squeeze of lime. 
4
  • Share the noodles between your bowls.
  • Serve with any remaining lime wedges.
  • Sprinkle with sesame seeds to finish.
  • Enjoy!

Review summary

Updated on Aug 2026
  • Flavour: Bold, savoury-sweet flavours with a satisfying depth; some find it a touch salty, so consider reducing the soy sauce slightly if you are sensitive to salt.
  • Ease of prep: Quick and straightforward to pull together, with minimal washing up — a great option on busy weeknights.
  • Suggestions: Soaking the udon noodles in hot water before adding them to the pan helps separate them more easily. Adding extra veg such as pak choi, mangetout, or green beans works well, and reducing the gochujang paste is an easy way to dial down the heat.
  • Next-day meals: Portions suit two adults well, though adding extra noodles or a side helps if you are cooking for a larger group or bigger appetites.
  • Greens: Spring greens can be tough, especially the thicker stalks — trim these before cooking, or swap for a more tender green like pak choi.
