Bento #151 Tom Yum Yaki Udon

Rayson is still recuperating at home but almost recovered, thank  God! Tom Yum Yaki Udon for Ray's bento today. I love udon because they are so versatile and easy to cook and it's also a much healthier alternative to instant noodles.

Instead of eating instant noodles, you could just cook udon and use miso as the soup base, throw in some vegetables and meat and ta-da......a healthy meal is ready. Our personal preference is Sakura brand udon which can be bought from NTUC.

Tom Yum Yaki Udon
Serves 1

Ingredients

1 packet of Sakura brand udon
Sliced lean meat
1 small red onion (diced)
3-4 cloves of garlic (diced)
3-4 mushrooms (diced)
3-4 crab meat (diced)
Green leafy vegetables
NTUC Tom Yum Paste

(Very flexible, you can actually use any ingredients you like!)

Method

1) Marinate the sliced lean meat with some black pepper and light soy sauce. Cook the sliced meat in boiling water until they are cooked (changed colour and no blood). I cook the meat first to prevent myself from overcooking as my slicing skills are not good and I will always be worried if the meat is fully cooked which ended up the meat being too tough. Keep the water after cooking the meat.

2) Pour some oil in the pan and fry the diced red onion and garlic till fragrant. Add in the mushrooms and stir fry a while until they are soft. Add in the crab meat.

3) Add in the udon and place the green leafy vegetables on the top. Scoop a few spoonfuls, maybe 5-6, of the water used for cooking the meat and pour over the udon. Close the lid, cook over medium fire until you can see steam coming out.

4) Open the lid and mix the udon and ingredients well. Add in 1 tbsp of tom yum paste ( I did not add any salt or soy sauce or any other seasonings because the tom yum paste is already quite salty) and continue to mix the paste and udon well.

5) Dish out and sprinkle some nuts on top and it's ready to serve!
