Stir Fried Black Pepper Udon Recipe
Easy To Cook Black Pepper Udon Recipe
My Black Pepper Udon dish is my version of the Japanese Udon in a clear broth. Everytime I go to a Japanese restaurant, I always order the Udon dish as I love the chewy texture of the noodles.
Here I have decided to do a stir fry using black pepper as the prominent ingredient. It is so easy to cook and you can find most of the ingredients in a supermarket. Do give it a try.

Food Sorceress Note:
- Dry roasting pepper: On medium heat, dry roast pepper with constant stirring until it starts to crackle and move. Use a mortar and pestle and crush the black pepper when it is still warm. Keep it coarse.
- Add water or stock to the noodles if it gets too dry while cooking
- Serve immediately as it taste best freshly cooked.
