Ingredients
- 200 g udon noodles
- 100 g sausage
- 1 cup kimchi
- 1 tomato
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp Korean spicy sauce
- 2 tbsp water
- 1 egg
- to taste dried seaweed flakes
Instructions
- 1Slice the sausage

Place the sausage on a wooden cutting board and slice it evenly into rounds using a sharp kitchen knife.
Tip: Cut into uniform slices to ensure they cook evenly. - 2Boil the udon noodles

Submerge the udon noodles in a small metal pot filled with boiling water on the stovetop, cooking until they loosen and soften.
Tip: Do not overcook the noodles, as they will finish cooking later when stir-fried in the pan. - 3Sauté the garlic in olive oil

Pour olive oil into a clean white frying pan over medium heat, then add sliced garlic and sauté until it becomes fragrant and golden.
Tip: Keep the heat medium so the garlic does not burn before it releases its aroma. - 4Stir-fry tomatoes, kimchi, and sausage

Add the chopped tomatoes, kimchi, and sliced sausage into the pan with the sautéed garlic, using kitchen tongs to toss and stir-fry everything together.
Tip: Press down on the tomatoes slightly to help release their juices into the pan. - 5Add sauce and mix in noodles

Pour in Korean spicy sauce and a splash of water, then thoroughly combine the boiled udon noodles into the mixture.
Tip: Toss gently with tongs to ensure the noodles absorb the sauce evenly without breaking.
