Ingredients

• 1 pack udon noodles
• 1 tsp sesame seeds
• 1/2 tsp chicken bouillon powder
• 1 tsp minced garlic
• 1 tbsp oyster sauce
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 1/2 tsp vinegar
• 1 tbsp sesame oil
• 1 egg yolk
• to taste Japanese mayonnaise
• to taste chili oil
• to taste chopped green onions

Instructions

1. 1Prepare the flavor base

   

   In a mixing bowl, whisk together the sesame seeds, chicken bouillon powder, minced garlic, oyster sauce, soy sauce, vinegar, and sesame oil until smooth.

   Tip: Ensure the chicken bouillon powder is thoroughly incorporated into the liquid ingredients.
2. 2Prepare and combine the noodles

   

   Microwave the frozen udon noodles for three minutes, or cook according to package instructions. Add the hot, cooked noodles directly into the bowl with your sauce base.

   Tip: For the best texture, ensure the noodles are warm before adding them to the sauce.
3. 3Mix the noodles

   

   Using chopsticks, mix the udon noodles thoroughly with the sauce until every strand is evenly coated.

   Tip: Mix gently to avoid breaking the noodles.
4. 4Add the egg yolk

   

   Carefully create a small well in the center of the tossed noodles and nestle the fresh raw egg yolk into the center.

   Tip: Using a fresh, high-quality egg is recommended for best flavor and food safety.
5. 5Garnish and serve

   

   Drizzle the Japanese mayonnaise over the noodles, then finish with a swirl of chili oil, a sprinkle of chopped green onions, and extra sesame seeds. Mix everything together before eating.

   Tip: Adjust the amount of chili oil based on your preference for heat.
