Ingredients (4 servings):

  • Udon noodles 

  • 1 large potato

  • 1 zucchini

  • 1 white onion

  • 100 g cabbage   

  • 1 tsp garlic powder

  • 1 dl black fermented bean sauce

  • 1 tbsp brown sugar

  • cucumber

  • sesame seeds

How to:

Fry the black bean sauce in some oil on low heat, only to give it some flavour but don’t burn it! Put it aside.

Cook noodles according to package. 

In a large pan, fry the onions for a couple of minutes before adding the potatoes and cabbage. Season with garlic powder and cook for about 10 minutes. Add only the zucchini when the potatoes are fully cooked. Now add the black bean sauce, sugar and 0.5 - 1 dl water and let it all simmer until it turn into a nice creamy texture. (Taste and add more water if you feel it’s too salty, you can always add a little bit of cornstarch in the end to make it more thick.) 

Add the noodles to a plate and pour the vegetable mixture over it, decorate with cucumber cut up into matchsticks and sesame seeds.
