Beef Yaki Udon

 Noodles are a comfort food for me and enjoyed by everyone in my family. We enjoy all kinds of noodle dishes, and this dish was no exception. My youngest son and I would always order this dish to-go during the weekdays from one of our favourite Japanese restaurants. I was excited when I found this recipe online to try out for myself.

This beef yaki udon dish is very flexible. You can add many different vegetables such as zucchini, carrots, mushrooms or cabbage. The sauce consists of yakisoba sauce which can be bought at any Asian store (I bought mine at T&T Supermarket). The dish as a whole was satisfying and complete, consisting of protein, vegetables and carbs. I love this dish because it’s very easy to make and convenient when pressed for time.
