Add baking soda, minced garlic and soy sauce to the sliced beef. Mix well and marinate for at least 20 to 30 minutes.

Mix soy sauce, oyster sauce, dark soy sauce, sugar and vinegar together. I usually eyeball everything and adjust the taste as I go.

4. Start cooking
Heat a little sesame oil in a large pan. Add the spring onions and marinated beef. Stir fry until the beef is almost cooked.
5. Add the mushrooms and continue stir frying.
6. Add the stock and sauce
Pour in a small amount of homemade chicken soup stock, followed by the sauce mixture. Mix well.
6. Add the udon
Add the frozen udon and toss everything together until the noodles are heated through and well coated.

Garnish with spring onions and toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately.

Don’t add too much chicken stock! 😂 I accidentally added almost half a bowl when I made mine. It still tasted good, but it made the udon more soupy. If you want it creamier and more saucy, just add a little stock at a time.
Note: I don’t use exact measurements when I cook. I usually eyeball everything and adjust according to taste, so feel free to do the same.

The natural sweetness of young coconut pairs beautifully with the rich flavour of black chicken, creating a light yet deeply nourishing broth with just a few simple ingredients.
