Description

This quick and easy kimchi and udon noodle stir-fry dish gets a flavor boost from bacon, garlic, and a sweet and spicy Asian-inspired sauce.

Ingredients

2 (7 ounce) packages fresh udon noodles
1 1/2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
1/2 tablespoon rice vinegar
2 strips bacon, chopped
1 1/2 cups chopped kimchi
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
4 scallions, diagonally sliced

Directions

1 Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook udon in boiling water, stirring occasionally, until noodles are tender yet firm to the bite, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain.
2 Meanwhile, mix honey, soy sauce, Sriracha, and rice vinegar together in a bowl.
3 Cook bacon in a large pan over high heat until fat is rendered but bacon is not yet crispy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add kimchi and garlic; cook for 1 minute. Add honey-soy sauce mixture, udon noodles, and sesame oil; stir well. Remove from the heat and transfer to a plate. Top with scallions.
