Directions for Preparing Short Rib Udon

  1. 1

    Prepare the Short Ribs

    Season the short ribs with salt and pepper. Heat vegetable oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Sear the short ribs on all sides until browned. Remove short ribs and set aside.

    Sauté Aromatics

    In the same pot, add minced garlic and ginger. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Build the Broth

    Add beef broth, soy sauce, mirin, and seared short ribs back into the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 2 hours until the short ribs are tender.

  4. 4

    Cook Udon Noodles

    In a separate pot, cook udon noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Dish

    Once the short ribs are tender, remove them from the pot, shred the meat, and return it to the broth. Add cooked udon noodles to the pot. Stir to combine and heat through.

    Serve

    Ladle the short rib udon into bowls, drizzle with sesame oil, and garnish with chopped green onions. Enjoy!
