Black Pepper Udon

This is a very simple dish to prepare. As the name of the dish is pretty obvious, we'll be using the Japanese udon noodles.

Here are the ingredients:

• Chicken breast, filleted(about 500g or more, your choice)
• Fish balls
• Black pepper
• Black pepper sauce
• Udon noodles
• Garlic
• Cabbage
• Spring Onions
• Light soy sauce
• Thick soy sauce
• Sesame oil

Cleaned the chicken fillets and seasoned it with light soy sauce and sesame oil.

Look what I found while cutting up the cabbage. ALWAYS ALWAYS clean your vegetables

Urgh...yuck

Wash the vegetables again after chopping them up

Cut up the spring onions

Dice up the garlic and slice the fish balls into halves.

Our choice of black pepper sauce(any one will do)

Pour out some of the sauce and add some hot water as well as some thick soy sauce

We're gonna add some REAL black papper into the mix

Pounded them a little. This will release so much flavor

Fry up the garlic, chicken fillet and fish balls

Add the vegetables

Pour in the black pepper sauce

Boil the udon noodles for 1 minute or so. Not too long as you want to preserve it's springy texture

Toss in the chopped spring onions

Homemade Black Pepper Udon

There are no boundaries for this dish. You may substitute the chicken fillet and fish ball with your choice of meat. Beef sounds good don't you think?. It was a little spicy for the aftertaste so I guess I used too much crushed black pepper.

Last but not least, thanks for checking out my blog. Till then, happy cooking :)
